F’rinstance, the first thing I thought of when first encountering PHP-Nuke was a game where the players would play by building a fictitious company’s site, but the site would actually be online and real people could look at it and (hopefully) think it was “real.” In other words, it would have a mission almost exactly the opposite of what a community activist site would require.

I installed the Akismet wordpress plug-in on my personal vlog site after a string of spam attacks, and no spam has come through since then.

The Echo Chamber Project is looking at how the mainstream media became an echo chamber to the countdown to war in Iraq.

I’m focusing on getting my project off the ground, but I may able to share some useful insights and module pointers about how to piece together what you need to do within Drupal.
