OpenPublish
Community discussions around Open Publish distribution.
OpenPublish is a packaged distribution of Drupal, that has been tailored to the needs of today's online publishers. OpenPublish is ideal for the implementation of a variety of media outlet's sites including: online magazines, newspapers, journals, trade publications, broadcast, wire service and membership publications. Built and supported on standard Drupal core (currently Drupal 6x), OpenPublish features support everything from basic news coverage needs to Web 2.0 trends, social publishing, semantic tagging and topic hubs. Each component bundled in the distribution is well supported, documented and modularly designed according to Drupal's architecture.
What's REALLY needed in OpenPublish: A final WYSIWYG solution!
Currently, OpenPublish comes with the Apture module, which is a very tantalizing almost solution to a problem that we all have struggled with: a legit wysiwyg solution that allows embedding of images and other content within a wysiwyg editor while allowing uploading of content from a user's computer or linking from remote urls. Apture does this in a clean, almost magical way.
Screencasts don't render on OpenPublish site
I have tried several time to run the screencasts on the Openpublish site.
The JWplayer is tooo slow. I've given up three times now.
Note * all the time I have been over here writing this the JSPlayer has been running to render the Overview.
It is still running, and I've come back from the site to make these two sentences.
Maybe you should youtube the screencasts and embed them. They would render then.
Also, flowplayer is pretty good for proprietary video playback.
Drupal Partnership Needed | GDC - Guerra Deberry Cooty
GDC is a marketing agency located in San Antonio, TX. gdc-co.com
We're looking to redesign our site and locate a long-term partnership with a firm/agency that knows drupal and php. An RFI has been created and we would distribute to those that respond. Many of our clients need web assistance on a number of varying levels. So, while our focus will be engaging/leading with Drupal, there will be instances where other programming may be needed.
