I'm a Pupil of Drupal

What do you think of the new LInt? Given that you've explored a number of Web 2.0 applications prior to this Thing, can you think of anything that you'd like to see folded into the LInt experience?
What reaction did you have, if any, to the articles espousing the benefits of content management systems?

Personally, I love the new LIntranet. Not that I'm bias or anything, but Paula and the rest of the LIntranet redesign committee have done a great job in picking a great CMS that works with our current needs, will help to eliminate the extra and forgotten junk, and help to facilitate faster communication while cutting down on piled up inboxes. The addition of the blog feature and hopefully Private Messaging will help with fast communication. I would like to see a meebo application in place for fast communication, but I realize there is a problem with the interaction of a meebo module and the drupal interface. It is a great system. I especially like the drop-down menus.

I, in general, agree with the praising of CMS systems in the articles we read. They are pretty neat. I am a little bit confused about why the articles talk about the layout versus the content. Isn't that what CSS does in conjunction with HTML? But then again, CSS and HTML require programming knowledge.

When I am done with school, I will probably be using drupal to create my own personal webpage. Although I might use Magneto, because its name is way better than drupal.
