No matter that I met Dries in Brussels (and got his signature for my colleague.) He begins the startup, Acquia, which aims to be Red Hat for Drupal. Now their business plans are announced. As expected, Acquia lists some modules and will commercially support them.
This is the first step of Drupal for the enterprise world. I then wonder of the selections and want to know Acquia's opinion on choosing the modules. Fortunately, It's available at this page (login needed.)
Most modules are well known for Drupaler but I came across with some unusual modules:
WYSIWYG: Kupu
I never heard about it before. TinyMCE is more than enough for me so that I dream of minimalist WYSIWYG editor. But after looking Kupu screenshot, I think it is not attractive as TinyMCE.
Comment spam filter: Mollom
I follow the link someone posted in the comment of module listing page. It's another Dries' startup, a web service for spam filtering. It sounds very similar to Akismet-WordPress relationship. Mollom is in public beta state and I want to try it with this site.
Search: Solr
There was session about Solr at FOSDEM but I didn't attend!!! (Anyway, the video is available on Google Video) Solr is part of Apache Lucene project. It is separated search server which will be more effective in term of performance. It also has comprehensive feature set. The only problem is the word 'Java servlet' makes me scare. Need to investigate more.
I can't create mollom account. Please inform me when it is available.
@sugree me neither. This is strange given that they say the service is in public beta.
I'm currently using Solr. All you have to do is deploy the .war file.
But Thai-support doesn't come out of the box, you need to recompile it.
Send me an e-mail with your preferred username if you want to be a beta tester.
i've used kupu with zope/plone, and i almost always turn it off and use the raw html. it's that bad :S
@Dries: thanks for that
@justin: geeks like us use plain HTML (actually, it's markdown for this site) but in real world, users still prefer WYSIWYG
if you absolutely need wysiwyg, try out WYMEditor... it's the best i've found.
