			<description><![CDATA[Looking at the page source of http://www.recovery.gov/, it seems that it is no longer using drupal. And judging by the inline css and javascript, they should never have changed :-). --- Bilal http://www.imprimante-info.com/]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm late to the party here, but that's what I get for flying to the other side of the globe for a couple of weeks ;-) I've worked in Federal contracting. The amount of 1999-era ColdFusion dreck still getting pushed around DC is unbelievable. Attitude and all, I'd far, far, far, far, far rather have government sites powered by Drupal than have to ever look at ColdFusion code ever again. When ColdFusion isn't being pushed, it's some bloated "enterprise" CMS based in Java or ASP.net. Interestingly enough, "enterprise" seems to change to suit whatever the incumbent contractor needs it to mean.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nice one Amy - I think the smallcore movement is much needed in Drupal. There's just an overwhelming amount of options, menus and configurations for the beginner. Drupal Gardens ... will be interesting to test when it launches.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't know, Steve, I think it would be a mistake to assume it's always going to be difficult to build a Drupal site. Even today, Open Atrium (http://openatrium.com/) is a very rich, easy to use Intranet install. If you are looking for drop dead easy, can it get easier than Drupal Gardens (http://acquia.com/blog/drupal-gardens-pre-alpha-screencast)? With the small core (http://developmentseed.org/blog/2009/oct/28/smallcore-manifesto-help-us-build-better-teddy-bear) discussions, the goal is to enable distributions in every color of the rainbow. Pop-it-in and go! The Drupal community has hit full stride as collaborators. They have fabulous conflict, too, that is loud and opinionated and angry, but it resolves into stuff like the smallcore movement. Hope to see us get there, too. I am convinced we have the talent. It's tough to figure out ways to collaborate and put food on the table. But that's how 3rd party developers will build voice and become a force to reckon with, not only as an empowered part of the project, but more importantly, a respected technical force in the world.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Speaking from years of doing business with the US Government, I can say that the "...political disaster waiting to happen" is FUD at its worst. Substitute any proprietary or open source CMS for "Drupal" and one can reach the same conclusion. And I suspect General Dynamics won the new contract because: 1. they were the incumbent 2. their technical proposal met the government's minimum requirements 3. and last but certainly not least, they were the low bidder and were presumed to offer the least technical and financial risk. Bottom line is that US Government procurement is very risk averse and also seldom awards to anyone other than lowest bidder who meets their minimum requirements. That's typically what US Government's "Best Value" turns out to be.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Seems like you're not the only blogger writing about this. But Slate appears to have a very different view. Why running the White House Web site on Drupal is a political disaster waiting to happen. Definitely worth a read http://www.slate.com/id/2233719/]]></description>
