Drupal as Wiki
I am sold. Drupal Wiki is a module based on MediaWiki. It has Admin and Diff pages are formatted accordingly.
Still work in progress, but it looks quite good and usable. Cant wait for it to be released.

Dries’ talk
<img src=”http://farm1.static.flickr.com/158/431580573_98619f22d6.jpg?v=0″>Drupal needs asset management (photos, media, etc.), structure pages in heirchy (book module outline), and forms module improvement (flat form module).
Focus on scaling the community (invese time in drupal.org.). Add innovation in core. Focus to eliminate the webmaster, designer, and developer (play better with web services.) Catch up with other CMS.

Death by Emergency Plan
Here is an insightful piece by Lew Rockwell.
Of course, the next step to prevent another Enterprise is for emergency planners to request federal money to strengthen school buildings so they may safely protect their hostage. The problem wasn’t with the plan, it was that the school building was not constructed to survive a tornado.
