Dan Gillmor Launches Grassroots Journalism

kbahey writes " Most Slashdotters know Dan Gillmor from his San Jose Mercury days, with lots of article on technology over the years, from the dot-com era down to now. As has been rumored before, Dan has left the SJ Mercury to found a 'grassroots journalism' project. Well, it is here, and called the Bayosphere. The site is powered by Drupal, an open source Content Management System. Jay Campbell, Dan's Technologist, writes about why they chose Drupal. "

You're retarded. Not because you actually had this conversation. That's fine. But it's the fact that you felt the need to post it here in log form. That was a bad fucking idea. It was about as funny as a bowl of oatmeal.

Alternative CMS to Drupal: Xaraya

[kjh1]

For those of you looking for an Open Source CMS system, you may also want to consider Xaraya (which sprang out of the PostNuke project). Xaraya is currently closing in on its 1.0 release, and we've been running a site successfully since the 0.9.9 version. Extensibility in the form of modules and hooks feature prominently in Xaraya as well. And if you're still confused about which CMS system to pick (or want to be confused!), take a look at cmsmatrix.org.
