We have been busy over the past few weeks in launching the skrooge website. It doesn't contain much at the moment, but we're working on it. On a side note, I moved all my past blog entries from blogspot on the site also, I hope planetkde won't get it wrong.
The site is drupal powered. I played a bit with joomla back in our sourceforge days, but I'm much more comfortable with drupal now that I understand it more. I guess choosing your CMS is like choosing your linux distro, to each his own (shrug). Anyway, if someone is interested in helping us putting it together, please step in ! This is a good opportunity of getting involved in an Open Source project.

Always nice to see more
Always nice to see more Drupal pages, especially if its in the KDE community. One thing I noticed: You seem to be using the image module. A prev/next pager would be nice, so you don't need to go back in the history. You could e.g. use this http://drupal.org/project/custom_pagers or this module http://drupal.org/project/prev_next

Currently don't see anything
Currently don't see anything else, except that you don't seem to be using any spam-protection. Drupal has very sophisticated anti-spam modules, like "CAPTCHA", "spam", "AntiSpam" or "Mollom", the last is an akismet-like service run by the company of Dries Buytaert (founder of Drupal).
If you're stuck somewhere, I'd be glad to help.

Mollom
Will go for Mollom first, since Dries runs it :)
I failed with custom_pagers, will try with prev_next tomorrow.

Yeah, I guess the setup of
Yeah, I guess the setup of custom_pagers is a bit complicated if you're not used to Views. By now, I do nearly everything with Views (and some panels mixed in). It's really powerful.

Mollom setup
OK, mollom was very easy, should be checking comments now...
I've played with views a little bit (the news page, and the recent news in the frontpage panel), but can't say I'm proficient at the moment.
Also, is there a way to get mail notification when a user posts a new comment ? I installed subscriptions, subscribe to, well, everything
. But I didn't get notified for that last comment of yours.

There is a bunch of solutions
There is a bunch of solutions depending on what you want to do. Do you as a site administrator want to get notified about everything? Then you could simply use a Trigger on new content to execute an Action to send you a mail. If you want to offer subscription to comments to your visitors, I suggest you to use comment_notify (http://drupal.org/project/comment_notify) or Watcher (http://drupal.org/project/watcher). Personally, I prefer comment_notify and use triggers/actions for admin notifications. But as I said, there are many more solutions.
