Whitehouse.gov switches to Drupal

In Commentary on 24 October 2009 tagged with 1 comment

Personal Democracy Forum has a case study on the White House’s switch to Drupal from a proprietary content management system.

Update: Via Tim O’Reilly we learn that the full stack is Drupal, Apache, MySQL, and Red Hat Linux. They’re using Apache Solr for search.

…which is great from a user standpoint: it is easy to use.

From a developer’s standpoint, however, Drupal must’ve originated from the 7th ring of hell. If the choice was either making customizations to Drupal or eating dirt, I’d pick up a spoon every time.
