Good job!

I installed 5 and have been playing with it today.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the hard work that has obviously gone into this release and congratulate the team on a job well done. It's very clean.

I'd still like to see the capability to host private forums available in the core, but it's easily done now with a few mods. A more powerful default forum feature would go a long, long way toward increasing Drupal's off the shelf usability and would probably attract a larger user base. Just a suggestion.

"clean and tight" is my overall impression. While it may be a little frustrating to not have features that most users have come to expect "out of the box", the approach that Drupal takes is very powerful. I can see the possibilities. In the end, I believe that this approach of architecture over initial functionality will produce a much richer and more powerful feature set than anything else out there.

Congrats and thanks again!
