Here are some excerpts from McKinsey and Company's surveys of international executives using Web 2.0 at their firms.
As initially mentioned, we have had a a Drupal for Library 2.0 demonstration available for a while. We finally cleaned up the implementation and have made it available for download for everyone:
Download a library-specific Drupal 5.x distribution by Neem Tree
We have contributed a number of Drupal themes to the community, and have head a number of requests to update these for Drupal 6. We just wanted to let everyone using these themes know that are definitely making the upgrade, its just a matter of 'when'.
With our given work pipeline, it looks like a safe bet is late July. Thanks for all your feedback, and we hope Drupal and Neem Tree continue to be of benefit to you!
