Drupal 6.0 Released! Woo!

Drupal 6.0 is released, and man is it fancy looking. It’d got all the features of an iGoogle-esque web portal built into it if you ask me.

Thanks to the tireless work of the Drupal community, over 1,600 issues have been resolved during the Drupal 6.0 release cycle. These changes are evident in Drupal 6’s major usability improvements, security and maintainability advancements, friendlier installer, and expanded development framework. Further, from bug fix to feature request, these issues follow-through on the Drupal project’s continued commitment to deliver flexibility and power to themers and developers.

That commitment is something you don’t see everywhere, and by people who do it in their spare time, and for the cause, makes me proud. =)

One of the coolest features is OpenID support. That means anyone with an OpenID can come to your site, not have to register, and have a user account at whatever permission level you assign them. It helps grow a user base without the hassle of maintaing the records of one. It’s a neat project, though personally I still use my own, it can be helpful in a lot of applications.

Oh and sorry for the lack of posts over the weekend, it was V-Day!
