For a long time now, my favorite recipe for intranet/internet content management included an ounce of ssh, a tsp of rsync and pound of shell scripting to spoon feed the user - a dish that I call ConMan.sh (Content Management). Chris happenned to leave a comment on the my previous blog post (Yo Chris!, I’ll take that Flock-Ac-Ccount plz) and I hopped over to his site only to find another interesting hop to Drupal.

In short, time to lock up that shell script and time to Drupalize the intranet. I have forums, personal webpages, static pages and pictures on my intranet that all need updating. Seems like having them under drupal will provide a good kick in every1’s pants to do so….everytime. We have a few people who know linux and a whole bunch of them who think they know linux so getting acceptance will not be a problem, i.e. if they don’t already drool on the “Hey it’s GPL” line. (Or should I shout “Hey!, its open source” to confuse them…)

I will try it. We need to re-design our intranet anyway, so might as well. Question is about attachements and that my-sql thingy. Wonder how the performance will be after it gains a few pounds…
