The Marlin Developer Community. (www.marlin-community.com)
I was responsible for sourcing, managing and coordinating designers, custom module and theme work, and a lot of back end integration. This site was built as a combined effort of four corporations: InterTrust, Sony, Philips and Samsung. It worked out well in ways that are not immediately visible: the backend integration and the fact that the client is able to maintain it themselves.
I proposed Drupal to this client and it has worked very well for them in connecting their disparate systems and combining at least 3 websites into a cohesive interface. The tough nut here was user registration and administration including (initially) LDAP and Salesforce.

Not surprising, but nevertheless not a good thing: Canada is going to start charging a surtax for mp3 players:
“The cost of an MP3 player will increase in Canada after the government’s copyright agency decided Friday to charge a tax of up to $19 per unit to reimburse singers and songwriters.
The new levy on MP3s will use a sliding scale depending on memory size: $1.50 for units with up to 1 gigabyte, $11.25 for 1 to 10 gigabytes, and $19 for devices of more than 10 gigabytes.”

This is a major ouch as it penalizes those who are “playing by the rules” – see the August 26 post for more of a commentary.

I’m getting excited about the implications of the google purchase of blogger. Corporate internal blogs might be a way to utilize internal knowledge, and the addition of a google appliance makes the whole thing potentially disruptive to the content management field. Relation to DRM? You wouldn’t think so. But while researching the topic on slashdot I discovered RSS, which looks like a copyright management extension to XML.
