Honestly, I don't even know why this site still exists, except to remind me of blogging aspirations that have gone unrealized for over a decade.
Moreover, I want to wait until Drupal 8 is released before I completely overhaul the site with new functionality, a new design and a ton of new content.
... now wouldn't that be a great blog post!? Actually, it would probably take a dissertation to cover the topic adequately. For now, I decided that I might as well share/re-use/build-on a comment I just submitted in the g.d.o forum.
... the top headline on my blog is "A new series" which was a post from... ummm... 2006. Yikes!
It isn't as if I have had nothing to blog about. I could have gone on and on about all the stuff going on at Koumbit.org or I could have written volumes about all the happenings in the Drupal world. In fact, just covering the overlap between the two would have been enough for a PhD or two.
As I stated in my last post it has been a rediculously long time since I have written anything on my blog. This is particularly bothersome to me given the fact that there are many important issues that I feel I could contribute to. However, if I continue to wait until I have time to write up the whole shabang before I even start, I'll simply never do it. So I figured I should at least start by throwing together a list of things I would write about if I had the time. Who knows, perhaps you'll end up telling me what I should write about first.
This is rediculous; I upgrade more often than I post. My last post was over five months ago! Shame on me. I really need to tell people about all the amazing stuff that has been taking place with Koumbit... cause you can't even find out about this stuff on Koumbit's website.
Well, anyway, I should at least get *something* posted so I guess I'll take a few minutes to comment about the Drupal upgrading I have carried out... and all the stuff that is broken as a result. :-/
According to this thread it appears as though the Drupal's i18n, or "internationalisation", module will no longer require patching of the core in the upcoming 4.7 release. This is great news for the Drupal community!
So, apparently, I've been a little lazy with respect to my blog. It's not as though I haven't been busy though. Anyway, I'm about to go on a little vacation so I thought I'd bundle up a little news...

I highly recommend that anybody working with technology and NGOs take a moment to read this SSRC Report by Gabriella Coleman from University of Chicago.
Here is the brief...
