What's good...
- Weighting items to ensure Intro is always at top.
- Management interface is clean and intuitive
- Integration of blog, feeds, polls, forums
- Extensible (Modules, Themes)
- Audit trail
- Performance metrics
- Threaded comments
- Integrated statistics
What I need to investigate...
- WYSIWYG editor (available)
- Autosave - already lost two articles due to finger trouble
- Automatic ping on update (cron)
- Syndication (full text feed) (done)
- WordPress importer (module)
- SEO friendly URL's ? (possible)
- Set up crontabs to update site index and refresh feeds (done)
- What's new in Drupal 5.0 ?
- Automated backups
- More thought on site structure...
What's not so good...
- Built-in editor is not included in core
- Referrers include internal traffic
- If the teaser breaks on a font change, the rest of the page is rendered incorrectly.
- No OPML import
- No feed auto-discovery
Why is Drupal better than WordPress/Wiki/Serendipity/Joomla ?
