Someone volunteered to do Drupal managed exporting to static html - but they can't do Wednesdays. :(


I guess I've got some input...

Well, I don't mind covering the opposite - http://drupal.org/project/import_html
if anyone's into it sometime.

I also have an experimental export/static version of the same thing - exporting to vanilla+microformat dump of site content, so I'd be interested in hearing about other approaches. Haven't had much time to run it around recently though.

Nothing to do with non-LAMP stuff, so maybe next time.

Apologies, Dman, had I known I wouldn't have been as blatant about it. If you are, you hide it well. :)


Oops, wires crossed

Sorry to cast aspersions, Dman - I misinterpreted your message above to mean that you'd given up on the idea of presenting Drupal on IIS+Windows as a result of my disparagement and would instead focus on html import... Reading it again, it's clear that I understood incorrectly. I gather the D in Dman doesn't stand for Darryl...

Speaking of Silverstripe, the NZ Herald recently published an interesting article about them, but didn't seem to GET open source. :( http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/3/print.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10509054&p...

love how they say "a major technology website" carefully not giving away the names of competitors.


Hmmm...

I was pretty sneaky wasn't I? Nobody even noticed that I was there! Actually I had a last minute family emergency, so couldn't make it :(

Tried to send Shiny a txt, but I assume it didn't get there... gorram Vodafone :(

Unfortunately I'm all LAMP currently, but keen to hear about about alternatives.
