    Just found this interesting.
    Why Drupal and not Joomla?

    Anyway, interesting move altogether.

    How many of you think that this will affect open source in one way or another?

    WASHINGTON — A programming overhaul of the White House's Web site has set the tech world abuzz. For low-techies, it's a snooze — you won't notice a thing.
    The online-savvy administration on Saturday switched to open-source code for http://www.whitehouse.gov — meaning the programming language is written in public view, available for public use and able for people to edit.

    Cool Drupal is more powerful from what I've experienced.
