A bit old news but I have some backlog in mail, bookmarks, word, upgrades, visiting friends and even sleep.
Web 2.0 Journal is writing about Ulitzer choosing Drupal as their CMS:
Ulitzer.com, which will be launched in 2008, with 5,500 authors and more than 550,000 original articles, is looking for enterprise software architect(s), programmer(s), and Web app developer(s). The site will offer original content in more than 2,000 topics ranging from AJAX to Zebra.
If ulitzer.com would start in 208 and would use Drupal, I think it will be the largest Drupal ist in number of nodes out there:
Launching with 5,500 Authors & 550,000 Original Articles!
At least, I dont know of any site with half a millions "nodes". Drupal.org is nearly half way there, do you know a site with more nodes? If so, drop a comment (will be moderated and publish within 8 hours).
Who will qualify working for them:
- Are you the person who wrote most of the Facebook or MySpace code?
- Were you the main architect who converted Yahoo! code from a proprietary system to PHP?
- Is your Google badge number smaller than 100?
- Have you delivered a large-scale CMS on Drupal, Django or another popular open source platform?
- Do you agree that CMS would be more appropriately defined as "Community Management System"?
No, I am not Ulitzer material. But at least I have one of the points right:
Old posting on my site:
"My prediction, within 3 years the acronym "CMS" wont mean "Content Management System" anymore but will be redefined to "Community Management System".
I might even be the first.
