Drupal Knows Best? The White House Debate Continues | techPresident: " We linked yesterday to a piece from Slate's Chris Wilson in which he made the case that White House's switch to the open-source content management system Drupal for its WhiteHouse.gov site and related projects was a horrible, miserable mistake. Now Conor McNamara, developer with the web firm DPCI, offers a point-by-point refutation of Wilson's main arguments, rooted in Drupal's admittedly unique way of doing things. Where Wilson says "Drupal knows best," for example, McNamara counters with, "No, Drupal is cautious about which users can do what, and with good reason." McNamara also more eloquently explores something we rambled on about yesterday: that whatever Drupal's challenges and quirks on the back end might be, what matters is the end users' experience with WhiteHouse.gov. Worth a read."

GoTwitr - Twitter Automation Site Built with Drupal | drupal.org: "Everything related to Twitter eats bandwidth, so we knew site optimization would be important. To keep overhead as low as possible, we used only the Drupal libraries that were absolutely necessary. Next we installed APC so our php would execute faster. Memcached was installed next, and we used the excellent Memcache module to integrate Memcached with Drupal. APC + Memcached = approximately 300% increase in speed."

Drigg - your Digg clone software, in Drupal: "For a test site, see: http://www.drigg.org or http://www.fsdaily.com" & Replace Drupal Planet and Drupal Talk with Drigg | groups.drupal.org & Drigg For Drupal 6 Under Development Again Thanks To Tony Mobily | Social CMS Buzz: "With popular sites like DesignBump and WPscoop both showing whats achievable with the Drigg system it’s no wonder more and more website owners are switching to Drigg or launching their new project based upon the system. You may also notice both of these sites upcoming pages are not crammed full of spam like every pligg install on the web including v1.0.0 installs, Drigg actually has protection from spam in the form of a few fantastic modules like Spam, AntiSpam and Troll which is a massive advantage over Pligg."

Re: [pdt-dev] How to install 'org.eclipse.php_feature': "PDT 1 needs Eclipse 3.3 and PDT 2 needs Eclipse 3.4.
What you can do is:

* install one of the official Eclipse bundles (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/) manually (just unzipping somewhere in your filesystem) and then add PDT there
* install PDT 'all in one' (http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/) also unzipping
* install using Pulse (http://www.poweredbypulse.com/)

If you only need PHP IDE second method is the best. I use Ubuntu and always installed Eclipse with 1st method and never had problems with that."
