[LINK] Drupal for whitehouse.gov

The other thing to note with these security reports is that: from the list
given, only 1 was not in a third-party module.

Admittedly, the drupal core is not without problems (
http://drupal.org/security)
This year: 8 advisories
    1 withdrawn, 1 duplicate, 1 Windows bug. Leaving 5 actual advisories in
10 months.
    not bad. But not good either.
Last year: 73 advisories
    (I didn't do any analytics on these)

(BTW: The current year is comparable with other web application frameworks,
such as Joomla and dotNetNuke.)

Cheers,
   C

educated person has read George Orwell's 1984, and are impervious to their
zany totalitarian logic. People are not sheep that will simply shout 'four
legs good, two legs bad', as do the sheep in that novel."
