The Open Source Community Project Named Gnomepal

big way. Lots of things are going well for Drupal these days, including a better-than-ever release of Drupal 6 and a community’s who only major problem is handling the exponentially rapid growth. Last week, tech celebrity Chris Pirillo announced aproject called Gnomepalwhere he encouraged developers and users to use Drupal as a core for a community platform. It’s just another reason why I think Drupal is the web framework of the future and that I hope I’ll be able to develop with Drupal more in the future.

t even render out so Google stops them from showing up anyway. Since Chris Pirillo is a premium publisher, perhaps they have changed the rules and allowed even more ad blocks. Just take a look at this blog post:http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/03/29/…amed-gnomepal/This post, along with every other post on his blog now has 5 ad blocks! Now, he was already making a killing before, I can’t imagine how much more hes making now, plus he’s now running DoubleClick CPM ads now!

call for actionand I for one am going to try my best to heed that call. I agree with Adam that a Fork is not the way to go and that we need to take advantage of the awesome Drupal developer community to really get this project together. I think

by development shops rather than a guy you have sitting in your office, you’ll pay through the nose, again for the alleged benefits of flexibility. Recently the Drupal community has seized on Chris Pirillo’s use of the platform as the basis forGnomepal, which has the noble objective of making Drupal more of an out-of-the-box solution for real publishers. Perfect, except that (no disrespect to Pirillo intended) I’m not sure there’s anyone less connected to the real-world demands of normal,

Gnomepal

Hey chris I don’t know PHP but I do know ASP.net and C#.net if you ever do a opensource project with those languages tell me and I will help.

P.S. I can do Windows forms and web forms

ill br sure to check out the website. ill probably be following you the whole way though. good luck

I’m in. I’ve always been a fan of big community projects.

Signed up. Ready to contribute.

Hey Chris – I’d love to get involved in Gnomepal, what’s the best way to help out?

What is Gnomepal : ) J.

Did some research, this is probably what the Gnomepal project addresses:

technoexpert.blogspot.com — If you ’ve tried to open source CMS Drupal, and you’re not a full time developer, chance is you encountered problems. In fact, chance is that you completely gave up on it because it’s so damn complex; dozens of interdependent modules are needed for certain features, and not all modules are working well with the latest version of Drupal.

abi chris, I love gnomepal! I jus signed up anita is awesome! Can’t wait to see more. – Tim

I’m working on getting a mailman list set up on my server, but for some reason it hasn’t been cooperating with us lately.

Just use Google Groups.

I watched the entire “conference” yesterday and I’ve gotta say I really like where this is going. I look forward to helping out any way I can, and look forward even more to using the final product.

Also, I hope the “inter-communities” aspect of gnomepal gets very well developed. I’d love to see communities “coming together” so to speak.

Hey chris. Macboy88 from the forums. I just thought it would be a good idea to maybe talk to someone you know down at Google and see if they’d like to help out with this project. Facebook has it’s home page where you put in your e-mail and password before going to a second “home” page. Myspace has the same.

I figure if you could incorporate this project with Google, people could have their profile on http://www.google.com

Many people use google so it would be everything they need in one place. A search engine/social network.

Wow I think this might be way out of my league. I have joined the website and will see what exactly is going on here and what the heck this is.

I still don’t seem to get it :S Oh well I will try my best and hope to be able to help this community grow.

i cant wait till this is finished. its gonna be amazing.

i cant wait untill this is finished…its gonna be amazing.

I cant wait!

I am sure to check out this site

Sounds Great I think this project will be the Best!

Hey Chris I love the Gnomepal project idea. Like you’ve always said it’s all about the community. Good Luck!
