Maintainers of ECA, FlowDrop, and Maestro are discussing whether Drupal automation tools can share backend contracts without merging their interfaces or use cases. Based on details Shibin Das shared with The DropTimes, the planning-stage work focuses on common graph models, shared language, and reusable processor patterns. The discussion matters for developers who now rebuild similar automation logic across different Drupal workflow systems and for teams that need governance, permissions, and observability to remain close to Drupal.

Working with larger organizations, it's common to want to split off a section of content into its own smaller site.

A city may want a separate site for a particular construction project, or a university may want one for a capital campaign. Marketing teams often need smaller, dedicated sites for communication and promotion.

They're usually not complex. Often it's a matter of a different navigation, some different branding, and a unique URL. But they still need to be designed, built, hosted, and managed - somewhere. And they're usually needed quickly (like, now).

Whether you're launching your first or looking for a better way to manage the ones you have, let's explore these "mini-websites" and the best options for your organization.

Last week I helped the folks at ezSystems debug some APC problems they were having. The problems ended up being a 64bit architecture problem (they have uber-fast Opterons) and the bug is now fixed in 2.0.3.

Today I received Python & XML from them (off my Amazon wishlist). Thanks guys!

On a side note, my wishlist seems borked. The list I get when I search on my email address or name is not the same one I can edit when I log into the site.

1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in them, but some were quite funny:

1. Changes to case sensitivity in PHP.
Alan Knowles announced that PHP will change to the studlyCase API and therefor will get everything broken by changing established functions.

2. IBM takes over Zend.
Myself hacked a little article about IBM taking over Zend to make PHP a compete of Java.

3. The first PHP virus has been seen.
Wasn't there one last year, too?

4. PHP has been overtaken by Micro$oft.
Mhhh... a little bit unreliable, if they had been taken over by IBM this morning... Maybe one should first look, what others wrote...

5. And finally, PHP4 and 5 showed their real faces...
Take a look at a phpinfo() output!

I guess I missed some, so feel free to comment on this entry, if you found another!
