The danish online magasin Computerworld tells that a local developed CMS from the Danish Soccer Union was hacked and all the clubs using the system had their pages changed. Probably done by script kiddies.

Anyhow - even though we don’t see as many security leaks as in the beginning of the new milenium,  they pop up here and there.

Be aware of SQL injections even though forms isn’t controlled by the CMS.

If you’re using requirement specifications make sure to specify to avoid security leaks.

Hold your horses regarding using Drupal CMS in new solutions the current situation: The road upgrading for Drupal 7 will without doubt be hard and painfull.

Slashdot writes: “The Drupal community has been working on Drupal 7 for two years, and there are ‘hundreds of changes’ to show for it, says Drupal creator Dries Buytaert in an interview with ITworld’s Esther Schindler on the occasion of Drupal 7 going into Alpha test this week. Most notable for end users are ’some massive usability improvements,’ says Buytaert, while site builders will see the greatest changes in the Drupal Content Construction Kit (CCK), which has been moved into the Drupal core. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the not-so-easy upgrade path. ‘The upgrade path for a Drupal site has never been really easy, to be honest,’ Buytaert says. ‘We do break backwards compatibility. It’s a little bit painful because it requires all of the contributed modules — and there’s 4,000-5,000 of them — to make changes.’ But Buytaert doesn’t think that’s all bad. ‘Innovation is key. Backwards compatibility limits innovation,’ Buytaert contends. ‘The rule we have is: We’ll break the API if it makes a better API, and if it allows good innovation and progress to be made. Also: The second rule is that we’ll never break people’s data. We’ll always provide an upgrade path for the data.’”

Great to see that a Japanese CMS vendor - RCMS (Diverta Inc.) have found their way to the CMS Map. Unfortunately it is quite difficult to read more about the system if you don’t understand Japanese.

Today we got the first Balkan (Croatian) company on the CMS Map. The CMS/Portal products from this part of Europe haven’t been that visible.

We welcome you to give the other European CMS vendors some serious competition.

Been to several CMS presentations lately and apparently word clouds is what the customers want here in CPH. I just fell over www.wordle.net to create word clouds. Nice …
