Geoff :
The Wysiwyg module for Drupal already provides quite a few tools for the word processor based editors to be able to create Word-esque types of enriched content in their site. Even with those tools though, their is still desire for the "point-and-click" webmaster to be able create even more enhanced elements without having to, well, know code. The combination of the Wysiwyg module and Drupal provides methods of adding plug-ins to the Wysiwyg editors.
For the purposes of this post, the methods to be able to create tabbed and accordion drop-down style content via the CKEditor editor will be covered.

As Luke Wroblewski puts it, "Mobile is Exploding". As smartphone sales surpass PCs and more and more people are doing their casual surfing from the couch or the line in the grocery store, everyone is talking about how to meet mobile user's needs. Moreover, an increasing number of users are using smartphones or tablets as their only personal computer. We think that for the public sector, especially for any organization that wants to provide equal access to everyone, this means that you need a strategy for reaching these devices.

I'm reading a book on financial modeling, where the author says, "if you can model it, you can understand it." Try to move past what a dork I am for reading that book, and I'll explain. Basically, if you can set up the pieces of a business into something measurable and tangible, the valuable pieces become clear. I think a similar concept applies to systems like Drupal: "if you can understand it, you can build on it." Or another way: broad adoption of a concept requires that someone besides developers understand it.

Last time I looked at a few example of how designing responsively affects some areas of the project process. I wanted to expand on that and actually develop these thoughts into a series that will hopefully cover those parts of the process more in
-depth along with some others.
I think Content is a good place to start as it’s a) usually an early part of the process and b) one that will make a substantial impact on your project
Okay, so we’re designing responsively. How does that affect content?

In September we released a new beta version of Tao for the first time in 11 months. A lot has happened in those 11 months. Tao changed hands along with several other modules and themes, and it’s taken us some time to get up to speed on all the new code that we have committed to maintain.

This weekend at DrupalCamp Atlanta, I had the pleasure of presenting with Jay Callicott from Mediacurrent on how to build an App for a Drupal distribution. Ok, so it wasn't really 8 minutes, and it wasn't exactly live - it was more like the cooking show kind of live -- but it did cover all the steps of building an App for a Drupal distribution, start to finish.

The amount of news content available on the web is staggering and overwhelming. Publishers recognize that they must differentiate themselves by producing and aggregating the most interesting and relevant content for their target audience, and packaging it in the most consumable way possible.
As a result, one of the most important aspects of developing a content strategy revolves around the degree of "curation" - when and where editors need to dictate exactly what stories are displayed.
