Site Software Upgraded

We have upgraded the site software [Drupal] from version 4.6.5 (which was slightly broken) to 5.2, the latest stuff. Because of the slightly broken-ness of the install, we had to build a new install and then copy over all the relevent content. There is a possibility that something has been missed. If you discover something missing please let us know.

We have added RSS feeds, part of the default installation. You can now just read new stuff in your browser without visiting the web site until something catches your eye.

Several new modules have been added to help make the site much more useful.

  • Event
  • Event Repeat
  • Calendar
  • Date
  • Views
  • CCK

You'll notice a calendar on the right sidebar, and below it the list of Upcoming Events. The [R] next to the event indicates it is a recurring event. So far it's just the monthly meetings on the list. When creating an event, no longer will it be done as a regular page or story. Creating as an event gives it special status, so that shows up on the calendar, and even has an ical link (for your email/calendar software).

Please let us know if you have any questions about how to use this new feature.
