Neck deep in Drupal
I have been working a lot with various CMS (content management systems) over the last few weeks and I think Drupal is going to be the system I’ll end up using. I’m leaning towards using Civicspace, which is a version of Drupal that appears to be customized quite nicely in the direction that I was wanting to do to Drupal anyway. The only holes that I have found in the functionality of Civicspace is:
* The "Browse event types" module only lists the first 6 event categories.
* RSS feed currently only works of stuff on the front page, or at least that is all I have managed to get working yet.
* How to have the start time show up in the abbr. versions of the event lists.
* Figure out how to deal with daylight savings time.
Daylight savings time and improvements to the event module are both really hot topics on the developers' mailing list right now. Expect to see good things in both of these areas in the near future. One great thing about Drupal is the careful attention that gets paid to the update scripts. When new functionality is available, you can expect a relatively smoothe transition -especially if you use the core code and modules unaltered. By all means hold out for the upcoming version 4.5 or at least grab the latest nightly snapshot.
