Drupal has built in support for creating an RSS feed of any selection of node content yet creating a dedicated podcast "channel" still remains confusing to many new users. The confusion around setting up a podcast is further exacerbated by the fact that there are so many potential ways to set up and configure them in Drupal.

Choose at least four open source frameworks or cms, Drupal included, and compare them, technically their flexibility and easy to use. Its prefered that you choose software that you have not used before.

Points to take into consideration:

a) Requierements: s.o., language, web server, database.
b) Installation: problems that you find, technical level that its needed
c) Configuration: basic and advanced
d) First content creation: create your first pages of content

Ever think Drupal is hard to use? The task is to find out where, and to improve it. The task is to find two (2) pages with bad usability, and suggest two ways to improve them.

The steps are as follows:

* Install Drupal
* Play around a bit
* Find two pages that are hard to use
* Consult the primary contact on whether they are "the way Drupal works" or actual usability problems
* Repeat until you have two
* Suggest and mock up ways to improve both of those pages
