White House Uses Open Source To Open Government
Them dirty commies.



The White House Web site now runs on open source. Over the weekend, Whitehouse.gov moved to a software stack that includes the open source Drupal content management system and Apache Solr search server.

One of the main reasons for the change was to build more collaboration features into WhiteHouse.gov, according to the Obama administration. In addition to providing content management, Drupal supports blogs, comments, polls, and the ability to create user profiles.

1. This is interesting. Who will be writing the blogs?
And do they keep track of user profile data?

2. Does the White House have a Wiki?
Honestly, if they had one, and it had some proper protections (like they have here) they could seriously benefit from one
