			<description><![CDATA[Today, Acquia anncounced the release of their first stable Drupal distro, an I'm quite impressed on how close they have managed to mimick the Linux distro business prectises - even up to the point of offering long term support (LTS) packages. Drupal will get a significant boost throuhg this packaging, IMHO, as it takes the burden of picking the right modules and what not from users and lies in into the hands of the most knowledgable folks in that arena. Great move.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@ Nick K LOL, you're right about that. But not for long; now people will want insurance against insurance company collapses as well :P As for single point of failure... not a problem IMHO... worst case scenario is that the other devs are forced to fork Drupal just to grant it a new name. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have always believed that anytime someone gets a piece of the pie another whole pie is created. The times ahead for joomla are going to be exciting. I will take that a step further - corporate america will take a close hard look at joomla when the backend matches their current expertise - as an example using oracle or sql server. In the meantime their are lots of pies for all who want them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Interesting stuff. Anything Acquia "packages, does security reviews of, and delivers" will be available to everyone under the GPL so I don't see them as selling anything other than support, a brand, and "peace of mind". Selling "Peace of Mind" is a great business to be in.... just look at the Insurance industry. Will it have a negative affect on Drupal? IMHO, no. Will it piss off the smaller providers? ... no more then the Rochen deal and the "recommended web hosts" list on J.org upsets other web hosts. Will it destroy small providers? ... not a chance! There is more then enough room for the everyone. Do you know what has closed the deal more then anything else for me when I bid for web projects? ... "I will develop your website around Joomla!, the CMS that powers such high profile websites as [insert Alledia's list of major websites running J! here]. With Acquia bringing in big clients... the perceived(and/or real) value of Drupal in general will grow... which can't be a bad thing for anyone in the industry.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Rob - Jomcomment has a fierce cache system to speed it up. I may try updating to the latest version to see if its any better. IMHO, I think there are both clear positives and negatives, but Rob and Brian agree on one issue ... this year Drupal has moved in a very different direction than Joomla. Simply by virtue of that huge investment in its founder, Acquia has a good chance of establishing Drupal as the FOSS CMS of choice for large firms. However, they will need to tred carefully to avoid any of those Fedora / RedHat conflicts of interest and I really think they need to invest a lot of work in improving their interface to break Joomla's hold with small-to-medium businesses.]]></description>
