Cultivating tangible change
Managing News
Managing News is our fully loaded news aggregator built to help teams communicate and collaborate. It’s designed to reverse information overload by making it easy for teams to funnel up the most important news and act on it quickly.
These are some of its most popular features:
- News aggregator to pull in the latest articles, blog posts, podcasts, videos, photos, and anything else with an RSS feed
- Collaborative tools like commenting, flagging, and voting to help your team decide what news matters most
- Graphs, tag clouds, and other analytical tools that show you in a glance what’s hot now
- One click republishing options that let you push out news on your intranet and website, and to your staff through targeted email newsletters
Managing News is currently in beta release. We’re hard at work adding more features and configuring it to work even faster.

Taking advantage of core hooks and context
Taking advantage of core hooks and context
At 3:30 pm on Wednesday March 5 I'll be presenting with Jeff Miccolis on some of the ideas that have been circulating around the Development Seed office on how to tackle the simple but elusive concept of context in Drupal. We'll tackle the topic in classic academic style: define the scope of the problem, review the relevant literature (i.e. we'll look at the code of some seminal modules), look at an exemplary case study (Managing News), and then show how context can help you make a more usable Drupal site.
