During building of the eiffelroom site with Drupal I learned quite a lot about this CMS. First, it has a good API and a whole bunch of modules which help you build your site. Second, it does not provide everything I need.

What I always liked about other compilers was the ease to compile simple examples. Just write a C file and call

gcc hello_world.c

And because of that, we can now easily add images to our blog posts and articles. Just upload an image (you must be logged in) and then you can use it via it's name with the standard Mediawiki syntax.

After three months of development, eiffelroom is finally launched. It had some starting difficutlies as you probably noticed: Shortly after the official launch I happend to delete the database!
