- robertDouglass, on 02/13/2008, -0/+40No Drupal developers are allowed to sleep this week... it's time to update those contrib modules!
- greggles, on 02/13/2008, -1/+28Woohoo! At long last we get to play with all the new goodies in this release. The drag and drop improvements are going to blow people away. Videocasts of the new features are available here http://drupal.org/node/128752
- Bashrat, on 02/13/2008, -0/+25Not to forget, Drupal 6 is shipping with jQuery 1.2.3, so you'll be able to take advantage of jQuery UI and jQuery Enchant out-of-the-box!
- matthwk, on 02/13/2008, -0/+21With Microsoft, IBM, and Google adding support for OpenID, it is definitely a great feature to see included in this release!
- AmyStephen, on 02/13/2008, -1/+18Congratulations! Drupal ROCKS! Way to go, Drupal community! :-)
- troydoogle7, on 02/13/2008, -0/+16Drupal doesn't come out for me until I get the new views and cck! But great work guys! With joomla 1.5 and drupal 6 its a great time to be in php
- chaosmachine, on 02/13/2008, -0/+15Well, that was sooner than I thought!
- nullity, on 02/13/2008, -1/+151. Drupal is built from the ground up to be modular and flexible.
2. The source code doesn't look like a pile of spaghetti.
3. Half the developers didn't leave to start a commercial company causing a huge rift in the community.
... Dunno, it was reason enough for me. -- former Mambo developer - tringtring, on 02/13/2008, -0/+13This is great news...I tried a number of CMS and found Drupal simplest and most useful...the D&D menus will certainly make this excellent product even better!
Thank you! - mellenger, on 02/13/2008, -0/+12having the new devel module built in is great for themers, and replacing weight with drag and drop is the killer app!
- travbrack, on 02/13/2008, -2/+14I've used Joomla for the last couple years. Are there any compelling reasons to switch to Drupal?
- keith587, on 02/13/2008, -0/+12I've been using a pre-release development version for my blog for some time now, and can definitely vouch for this being the best release yet. Congrats to all the Drupal developers on the release.
- NikLP, on 02/13/2008, -0/+11This release, with the new drag & drop menus and blocks, will really help usability and new users will just ... smile.
Interface and content translation will make this CMF the toast of the town :) - arkmtech, on 02/13/2008, -0/+9I've developed a handful of successful sites around CMS Made Simple [ >> http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/ ] and WordPress [ >> http://www.wordpress.org ], but have often felt there's got to be something better & sleeker...
Drupal's power as a content/community management system has always impressed me for the many sites that utilize it, and I've read gushing reviews on many a developer's blog heralding Drupal as the "best of the best".
Despite my enthusiasm to learn, though, Drupal has always seemed intimidating - so I'm eagerly hoping the improvements to v.6 will clear up some of the bewilderment I and others have experienced over Drupal's "taxonomy" system in previous versions. - Rowanw, on 02/14/2008, -0/+9Oh BTW, don't use IE.
- scor, on 02/13/2008, -2/+10That's a great reward for all who worked on Drupal 6!
- sgluskin, on 02/13/2008, -0/+8Hats off to Gabor and the, literally, hundreds of developers who worked on the code. Is there an official number regarding how many developers took part? In any case, it is impressive. Thank you!
- bundus, on 02/13/2008, -0/+7The issue with downloading a bleeding edge Drupal release is the lack of updated modules. If you're fine with updating them all yourself, or you code your own modules then have at it. Unfortunately for many of us a 6.0 release is rather anti-climatic.
- Arancaytar, on 02/13/2008, -0/+6If I'm lucky, my Drupal sites will be on 6.0 by the time 7.0 is released. So many custom modules and so much CCK+Views meta-structure...
- Gurpartap, on 02/13/2008, -1/+7It has been fixed now :)
- tvitamin, on 02/13/2008, -1/+6Way to go! I just started working with version 5.7 yesterday and very happy to see Drupal 6 released!
Thank you! - bpocanada, on 02/13/2008, -2/+7Boy! - This definitely would be a release that would go in history books as the one of the best CMS release. Truely awesome! Great work Gabor! and all developers.
I now have a challenge to increase my Drupal team which has quietly been working along the release to get on D6 and we have a large client project starting 1 March on D6. and yes we have upgraded http://www.drupal.org/project/ePublish for Drupal 6 and made it available. We will release D6 versions of all modules we maintain very soon.

http://www.bpocanada.com - dipout, on 02/13/2008, -1/+6I love Drupal... D6 here i come
- catch56, on 02/13/2008, -1/+6But what will I do now?
..apart from upgrading Drupal 5 sites, and Drupal 7 of course:) - Thomaschaaf, on 02/13/2008, -0/+5Uh I need to make new designs then.. but I'm going to wait 3 months for professional use so I know its stable
- silvanov2002, on 02/13/2008, -0/+5Thats great news, can't wait til all the modules I'm using on my drupal site are updated.
- nborda, on 02/13/2008, -0/+5A big thank you to all the core developers, your efforts are much appreciated. Can't wait t instal this on my localhost.
- etx313, on 02/13/2008, -0/+5DOWNLOAD NOW! Figure it out later...
- xxiao, on 02/14/2008, -0/+5drupal is the best cms i personally have experienced. give it a shot if you have not done that.
- Rowanw, on 02/13/2008, -0/+5The forms for creating vocabularies and terms in taxonomy have been simplified significantly, I guarantee you won't feel intimidated when creating vocabularies in D6.
- skelligs, on 02/13/2008, -1/+5Awesome congrats to all the team
- jchrome, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4Great news, I've been testing all the 6 RC's on a subdomain and the new features/improvements are really welcomed! Sadly I can't put this into production until the many, many contrib modules and themes get updated... I'm running about 13 sites off of one 5x install with something like 95 modules between them (not all on one site obviously!).
- BrightLoudNoise, on 02/13/2008, -1/+5Fantastic, I look forward to upgrading my sites to Drupal 6 to take advantage of the much easier theming options.
- spudlyo, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3Nice to see that block caching made it into this release, so that authenticated users see some performance gains.
- trouble916, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3Same holds true starting from scratch. I figured I'd go check it out for a couple upcoming projects. While it does look like they've done an excellent job getting the core and most used modules current, many of the ones I want to use are still in "dev" state. Hopefully it won't take too long for the active modules to come up to speed. Looks pretty nice.
- Charybdisz, on 02/13/2008, -3/+6Super cool, congrats to the entire team!
- techguy10, on 02/14/2008, -1/+4Its far more scalable, it doesn't hide the code the way joomla does so basically if you're not an expert programmer (which I'm certainly not) and you start on a project and realize that what you're trying to do is broader than what Drupal already covers you should be able to find any skilled web programmer and even if they have never heard of Drupal in their life they should still be able to work with it for you to get the results you want (hope you get what I mean).. with Joomla it seems like its really just aimed at people who want to test out a CMS whereas I can see how Drupal could easily be the seed that could be used to build some really complex web apps.
- GerryBot, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3Wow - Drupal's image is improving within Digg - I remember one of the release threads for a previous version was filled with negative comments. Now it's nothing but praise! Well done!
- protramper, on 02/13/2008, -1/+4Only built websites for others until now but now I'll definitely get myself a blog running with D6. Just to check out all the new stuff. Especially looking forward to try the new menu system and theming with the new devel module.
- techguy10, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2I did the opposite, I used to use Joomla and switched to Drupal I don't see the comparison Drupal is far more customizable, Joomla just seems to get in the way of itself, just my opinion though
- inactive, on 02/13/2008, -1/+3Thank's to all Drupal Developers, Proofs, Contributors, Newbys.
Cheers - dvdd127, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2yah, simply put I am not going to rush the update to 6 because there are certain things I need in my drupal sites that i dont see in 6.0.
- Leech, on 02/13/2008, -3/+5niiiice! Love Drupal
- brownspank, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2The previous version. As in, "THIS VERSION of Drupal is easier to use for..."
- kckern, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2Amen!!!! I just upgraded, and I now I feel like i'm all restricted because none of my modules work!
- Daniel15, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2I'm another CMS Made Simple user, but I might take a look at Drupal seeing as it seems to rank quite well :)
- clouseau, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2What is Drupal? http://www.ddj.com/linux-open-source/199201603
- peacho, on 02/19/2008, -0/+1And it is! If you look at the release page, it says just some of the big sites that use it.
- pugsby, on 02/13/2008, -2/+3I've used Drupal 5 for a good half-dozen different sites, but lately I've converted into more of a Joomla fan. But in reality, both have their purposes. And I know for sure that I'll give Drupal 6 at the very least a trial run, as it really is a good stable CMS to build from.
- Arancaytar, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1Indeed. Oracle support is afaik being worked on.
