Say “hi” to drupdater v0.1
After some bugfixing and testing, Drupdater version 0.1 is ready. Not for download yet, tho. I am still trying to find the perfect balance between stability and ease of use. I also rewrote the update procedure to gain performance and stability: Instead of running a synch over the whole “modules” directory, I know Tar/BZip the [...]

WordPress made the example and included TinyMCE as a default which is expandable with a couple of plugins (“TinyMCE Advanced”). Putting together a solution which also allows users to easily upload and include pictures into article texts with Drupal took me [...]
My Drupal Arsenal
I use the following plugins on every base installation, since it covers (most) of my client’s needs. The * indicates, that this is a plugin which is active on basically every installation.
