    Is anyone here using Drupal? Whether you are or not, what do you think of Acquia? It looks like they're working with the same idea as Automattic/Wordpress, SixApart/Movable Type, RedHat/Linux, Canonical/Debian Linux, Sun/Oracle/MySQL, etc.

    Do you think they'll be the next big thing?

    I think drupal is a very promising cms and Acquia which is run by the drupal founder could very well become a 'big thing'.

    Here is another article about it

    Definitely worth to keep an eye on it ..

    Yep, I'm keeping my eye on Automattic, SixApart, AND Acquia. I work for a lot of corporate clients, and not only do many of them LOVE the security that they feel when a company supports their software, some of them have corporate policies that say they CANNOT use software that isn't commercially supported.

    Before this limited their choices a lot. Lately I've been using WordPress for these clients, and they pay $5k/contact/yr for the Automattic support. Now there will be more options!
