Who's Online box block that Drupal provides lets you configure how do you count the users who are currently online on your site. If you set a large time value say last 30 minutes to count whoever came in last 30 minutes then you obviously get a large number of people who seem to be currently on your site. But many of these people may no longer be currently on the site. To make it more accurate you should find out from your site's analytics software, what is the average time spent by a visitor. This is the time you should set in your Who's Online configuration. That would be a slightly reasonable count of how many visitors are currently online on your site i.e. you count the number of visitors in the average amount of time spent on your site. However a word of warning this may be way off if the variance of time spent on various sites over time is high.

R K Misra's online initiative ChangeIndia.in. Runs on Joomla and uses Fireboard a forum module for Joomla. The site is hosted at Y! India and E-mail at Google. Changeindia.in doesn't have clean URLs its kind of hard to have custom paths defined in Joomla. No candidates announced for Karnataka elections. RK is a great believer in Private Public Partnership's potential to change India amongst other things he advocates.

lok-paritran.org uses Drupal as the CMS for its site and uses Drupal's in-built forums and looks like they have Gallery integrated into their drupal installation. Though they have clean urls they are not taking full advantage of Drupal's ability to define custom URLs and the clean URLs don't extend all the way to the Forums. Its not clear to me what exactly is Lok-Paritran's agenda, lots of high sounding philosophy and no practical agenda un-like RK's PPP mantra. And shudder they use a M$ Word document to announce their Bangalore candidate list.

Funny how many of us think that Joomla is a pretty CMS but drupal is a workhorse with lots of features and a clean codebase. It would be interesting to draw conclusions about politics of people who use Joomla, Drupal or raw PHP :-)

Jaago.in is built using PHP and shudder these guys are appealing in a very demagogic fashion to the middle class's insecurities and sound downright populist with Rs. 2/KWh electricity provisioning they are promising. There is no candidate list they have announced for Bangalore yet. Their frontpage boasts of a typical GOI like site welcome screen with a enter into link and a flash object.

Wahjava says: so in next elections, no need of polls, just check out the CMS of their site, and compare it on some CMS ranking site, one whose CMS has higher rank should be declared winner :P

Finally migrated my site to a very capable CMS system.
Drupal is a very capable content management system that allows creation of short friendly URL aliases. Organization/type/hierarchy agnostic content creation.
Along with creating short friendly URLs using Drupal. I also used the mod_rewrite from apache to maintain compatibility with existing links. So if anyone still clicks on the older pages from search engine links or any friends who linked to me will still be able to fetch the updated content from the same URLs.

Drupal has a very capable content organization system called taxonomy.
I am still exploring the goodies it has to offer me in terms of enhanced blogging experience.

I like Drupal over other personal Content Management Systems I tried during last few days including Mambo and PHPNuke. I haven't tried many others although I am going to put in more effort into Mambo which looks promising.
