A second round of Drupal quickies for those who don't have the time to keep on top of all the recent happenings in Drupal land. Just don't get used to them.

Hi Dries,

Congratulations to you and the rest of the team on a great year for drupal.

I've only been around for a short while - still getting to grips with it - and am only just getting my head around its full potential. The mind truly boggles to where the project maybe at this tme next year. The pace of development is solid, as is the community contributions of updates, modules and patches.

I can't wax lyrical enough about how good drupal is becoming.

Have a good break/holidays and a peaceful new year.

Looking forward to working more with drupal in 2005.

it seems that there is always more news than I thought while I try to stay in touch, a lot is happening. Regarding the downloads.com site, it seems to be filed under
"CNET > Downloads > Windows > Developer Tools > Web Engineering > Site Management" Now downloads.com has a very poor taxonomy structure compared to drupal but filing it under windows and windows only seems to be ought.

I also dont think that "License: Free" does justice to the GPL, although for most downloads.com users it will mean the same. I couldnt find a way to give feedback to the webmeisters of download.com. Anyone knows a way in? The also link their download to 4.5 instead of 4.5.1. How will they be notified of newer versions?

Dont forget that the persian theme has been "ported" as well by Chrs, which makes him Theme-Employee Of The Month (thanks!)

And I should have bought the drupal.com domain as well 3 years ago and have kept it for myself to sell :-). Btw: I think that 6000 USD (about 150 Euro and declining. No I dont exchange money with you :-)) reflects drupals power.

As a Christmas present, I just finished converting another theme to Drupal. Manji theme should appear in the download section in a day or so. :)

I've started working with drupal a couple of years ago and was excited then and now even more. Because of some mailing needs for my sites i had to switch to other software but have recently switched back to drupal as it has been taken care of. Long live drupal.... I love it.
I hope it stays free and hope it gets lots of donations :).
Blessings and merry Christmas,
Tim

I've been using Drupal for longer than I care to consider, and it has come a long long way since I first stumbled upon it.

I must thorougly congratulate the drupal.org dev team and all contributors for making Drupal the best peice of open source software I've ever used.
