Drupal 6 - Easiest Version of Drupal, Ever!

The open source community is celebrating the release of Drupal's easiest version ever: Drupal 6 [http://drupal.org/drupal-6.0]. This version fixes many of the annoyances and limitations of Drupal.

Among the improvements are easier installation, with carefully guided steps. Drag and drop administration, including the much-awaited drag-drop taxonomy administration, openID and an improved workflow module (via custom triggers). Drupal themes are now easier to customize too.

I am particularly proud of the taxonomy drag-drop improvement because I helped mentor the Google SoC student whose AJAX code eventually got included in this version.

I've downloaded the release and will use it to upgrade some of my Drupal sites.

The Drupal community worked hard on this latest version and they deserve praise and congratulations. Drupal 6 is a testament to the power of a community of devotees who believe in a product and are committed to improve it.
