> Subject: [DUG-TO] bricolage module for drupal
>
> hi all:
>
> Some of you may remember a show-and-tell i've been
doing for the past
> year about this new module I'm working on that
integrates drupal and
> bricolage (http://www.bricolage.cc/
, a perl-based open source CMS that
> publishes static html).
>
> Well, it's finally live here: http://thetyee.ca/ (which is a
good site
> to read based on the content as well!). The basic
concept/requirements
> was a large and busy static html site that wanted to
use the drupal
> comments code and potentially other drupal features,
but retain the
> existing content and the CMS that churns out new
content (i.e.,
> bricolage) because of it's particular advantages
(primarily the
> workflow and static output).
>
> A side benefit of the module is that the site can stay
up in the event
> of a mysql failure (yes, the comments are written to a
file cache).
> Theoretically, the page rendering is faster as well
because the page
> contents don't need to be read from the mysql database.
In any case,
> it survived launch last week, and is still going, about
to break
> 100,000 comments from about 5,000 users (both of which
were imported
> from the existing vbulletin program).
>
> Code soon to be a live project on drupal.org ....
