We both miss just being able to play around with Drupal:-(
If things go as planned we may use this domain to test Drupal modules etc
This site will also continue to run as a news feed on environmental and social issues
.
I would like to thank all the clients and developers, businesses and friends who helped us over the years.
I would like to also send a big THANKYOU to the Open Source Community

About Upstarts
Site Development
Upstarts was founded in 1995 by remnants of the crew at Brigalow Digital Publishing (BDP).
BDP was an offshoot of MacLaser, one of Australia's first Desktop Publishing Bureaux, and was also a pioneering effort.
Brigalow Digital Publishing (BDP) produced the first multimedia title by a private company in Australia, the first mixed mode (audio/data) CDROM and also published the first interactive government report for the Australian Federal Government.
Doesn't Time Fly?
Submitted by admin on Sat, 21/06/2008 - 4:47pm.I noticed how long it was since anything was done on or to this website...
It was ages ago.
In the meantime Drupal has advanced tremendously.
Also lots of new and exciting modules have been created - and some elder ones updated.
We are still snowed under with work and recently that has meant working in Drupal so we may reactivate this site to play with modules etc.
But unless someone has pointed you to this site there is nothing to see here:-)

Not keeping up
Submitted by Ludwig on Mon, 05/03/2007 - 2:49pm.There are a lot of exciting developments on the Drupal front.
Since this site went up Drupal has moved forward to the version 5 releases. The current version is Drupal 5.1. and it represents a giant step forward for the Drupal CMS. Though now 6 is on the way:-)
The first thing that I noticed is the new installation process. I had never liked the process of installing Drupal. For me it was its worst feature but Drupal 5 changes all that there is now an install script. It is no longer necessary to manually edit the "settings.php" file, and database tables are created automatically.
Site Guide
Site Development
This is a testing and demonstration site, and so is under constant reconstruction. Sometimes things will "break". Do not be disturbed by this; most problems are caused by interactions between modules - or our mistakes - and none, so far, have been fatal. The site is rebuilt periodically to remove errors and inconsistencies.
Other points to remember are that not all the installed themes have been adjusted to suit the site content and thus some aspects of the site will not work or display correctly if those themes are selected; and that some modules installed "compete" with each other for the systems attention - this can also generate errors.
