I've just posted a new project called Bricolage Integration. I wrote it for an on-line news site called The Tyee, based in Vancouver, BC and it's been running for almost a year now.

As part of the Google Highly Open Participation Contest, add1sun has posted a quick how-to guide for creating a student newspaper with Drupal.

GHOP provides incentives for high school students to participate in open source software projects. As a Summer of Code mentor, I urge everyone to participate. It's a great way to give back to the Drupal community.

Hi folks,

There is a significant hole in Drupal when it comes to a simple, clean workflow allowing content creators to upload an image and insert it into a piece of content. This functionality has been implemented elsewhere on the web (e.g. Blogger, Facebook, etc.) in a variety of ways. Under Drupal, the 'img_assist' module burdens users with creating an image node and the 'upload' module provides insufficient UI integration that couples images with a text block, rather than with a node.

Tip: Read News Industry Text Format (NITF) files with PHP
Parse and extract news content for use in your applications

The News Industry Text Format is an XML-based format used by the news industry to encode and share the content of news articles. PEAR's XML_NITF package provides an extensible API to read and parse NITF-formatted files, making it easy to extract bibliographical information and article content for use in any PHP application.
