Revision of How this site was built from Tue, 06/26/2007 - 17:14

This site is implemented as a drupal wiki site using rötzi's install profile, http://drupal.org/project/drupal_wiki, which makes setting up a drupal wiki easier than ever. The talk module moves comments to a separate page, and "what links here" is provided by the backlinks module. Drupal contrib modules can be downloaded from http://drupal.org/project/Modules.
