I would like to ask the free software  community to syndicate this entry as much as possible. It's not  exciting, it's not &amp;quot;hot&amp;quot;, but it is about the future of a great piece  of free software.

 <title>Abandonia is a very busy and very big site built on Drupal </title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/abandonia-is-a-very-busy-and-very-big-site-built-on-drupal.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[
Abandonia was created by Croatian Kosta Krauth on June 21, 1999. At that time Abandonia was a typical oldwarez site, with popular games like Monkey Island and Doom available for download, even though these games were still being sold in stores. The site gained a major boost in popularity throughout 2003 and 2004 as a discussion forum was opened, updates became more frequent, and the focus shifted towards abandoned games.
The site is maintained by people from all over the world, including Belgium, Holland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Poland and Croatia. At the present time Abandonia has been translated into German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Italian, Danish, Polish, Croatian, Norwegian, Slovene, Icelandic, Slovak and Romanian, in addition to the main English. Other translations currently being worked on include Hebrew and Russian.
In September 2006 Abandonia was acquired by Studentis Group, a Swedish online community company. This meant that Studentis would take over the hosting responsibilities for Abandonia and support its upcoming versions [2]. In October 2007 Abandonia received a new layout and had been transferred over to the Drupal platform by Kosta Krauth and the Studentis team consisting of Marcus Johansson, Daniele Testa, Fredrik Holm and Carl McDade.
Abandonia is an abandonware website, focusing mainly on showcasing computer games and distributing games made for the MS-DOS system.
Abandonia also features a music section and an Abandonware List[1], a continuously expanded database of over 4600 games including information about their publishers, release dates and whether according to the staff's knowledge the software is sold, protected or abandoned. This list is a sum total of research and enquiries made by the site crew, with sources including but not limited to MobyGames, Wikipedia and the company registry at Home of the Underdogs.
Abandonia Reloaded (sometimes referred to as "AR" or simply "Reloaded") is a sister project of Abandonia, with the focus upon freeware games.
Every game showcased is accompanied by a set of screenshots, and reviews written and proof-read by members. As non-profit sites, both Abandonia and Abandonia Reloaded are community-driven projects. With the exception of the featured games themselves, all content available on the sites is created by their community as a volunteer effort.
Both also feature a progressive system of game evaluation, in which the quality of the game is rated not just by the reviewer but also by votes of regular visitors.

 <title>14 Reasons not to upgrade your Drupal website</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/14-reasons-not-to-upgrade-your-drupal-website.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[After all the time that has been spent on creating a "easy installer" Drupal is still one of the hardest CMS to install. Why? Upgrading! Upgrading Drupal to any version is a nightmare!
This blog could have very well been labeled "14 reasons to hire a Drupal professional". Because much of what is required to upgrade an installation will take a good web developer, one that is familiar with all of Drupals quirks, to fix if something goes wrong.

 <description><![CDATA[The views module allows administrators and site designers to create, manage, and display lists of content. Each list managed by the views module is known as a "view", and the output of a view is known as a "display". Displays are provided in either block or page form, and a single view may have multiple displays. Optional navigation aids, including a system path and menu item, can be set for each page-based display of a view.

 <title>Drupal.org down again!</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/drupal-org-down-again.html-0</link>
 <description><![CDATA[Maybe it is not such a good idea to run drupal.org on CVS version of the software. Maybe its time to stop throwing caching and hardware at an obvious problem. Drupal.org seems to be failing at regular intervals.
While I sit and wait I will be writing up an article on why Drupal is not ready for the enterprise.

 <title>Drupal 6 is unusable  </title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/drupal-6-is-unusable.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[It seems that module dependancies have rendered Drupal 6 totally unusable for most projects. Taking a look at the major modules development cycles it will be along time before Drupal 6 is ready to take the place of Drupal 5. 
Unlike Windows XP and Vista scenario it is not a resistance to change and upgrades by users that is the problem. But similar to the Windows problem with adaptation is the fact that upgrading high calibre Drupal module costs. To explain this simply, many of the hub modules like CCK and Views along with their children were developed using paid development time and sponsorships. The monies invested probably are not available any longer. This means that these modules will have to be developed out of the goodness of the hearts of many. There is also the time factor. Those that got paid to create these modules are probably busy doing other things now and so do not have the time to give anylonger.
Documentation for Drupal 6 modules are totally non-existent. Drupal 6 API documentation lacks the explaination of how the system works. Something that has always been present in previous versions. If you get involved with something using this version you are on your own. This is worsened by the fact that the Drupal.org developer forums have been deprecated and the replacement groups suck. You will not find any useful info in them and you have to find the right one.
So far I have built one project using Drupal 6. I see now that it was a mistake but I did learn a lot. I learned that Drupal  5 will be my main development platform for many more months to come. I learned that soon I will stop using Drupal because it is easier to write from scratch or use something else rather than spend hours on trying to fix bugs and hunting for knowledge on the system.
