The phenomenon that is Web2.0 has brought about many new opportunities to interact with websites. The downside of this so far has been the necessity to register for each site separately that creates the baggage of having to remember lots of user names and passwords. Help is at hand though with a new system called OpenID that might life easier for all of us in the future. The good news is that this can easily be integrated into Drupal to make your users' lives easier.

Drupal has been officially updated to version 6! An announcement detailing some of the new features is available at: http://drupal.org/drupal-6.0. If you are unfamiliar with Drupal you can get a booklet that describes it at: http://drupal.org/node/10767. Amoungst the new features is built in OpenID integration, better language support, easier theming and a new Schema API that makes it easier for module developers to support databases other than MySQL.
