The new site

May 28, 2006 — Vladimir Drndarski

We’ve been working on the new site for a while. Its got a new design, and best of all, a new engine that runs it. We’ve chosen Drupal as the engine behind our site for a variety of reasons. Before we get too far into it, yes we’re still Tapestry developers. Yes we could’ve done this in Tapestry. But, the simple fact of the matter is that developing a content management system is a lot of work. Drupal is really comprehensive and though we’re not PHP developers, it didn’t take much effort to figure out how to use and deploy the system. There are still a few rough edges to work out but in all we’re talking a few hours (under 8 hours) of work getting blogging, page posting and a variety of other nifty features running. And most of that time was spent fiddling with the template and reading the Drupal documentation.
