I went to the Olympia Web Design Meetup last night and heard a great presentation on Drupal (the system that OlyBlog runs on?). There was also a discussion of having the group help a local organization with their website. I thought of OlyBlog because it's a great local website and runs on Drupal.

If OlyBlog is interested the group may be able to help improve the website. I encourage the folks involved with the technical side of OlyBlog to sign up for the meetup and attend the next meeting:

Here is a thread for discussing our technical problems here and sharing any work arounds we find.

What is our current list? I know of:

  • tracker problems, the dang thing just don't track correctly
  • access denied msgs
  • error msgs boxes that don't make sense, usually posts then go through just fine but not always
  • posts actually fully disappearing between preview and post
