While I still use WordPress for my current site, all future sites I’m working with will be running Drupal. I’m surprised at how little attention Drupal gets, considering how obscenely powerful it is. While I can do a lot with WordPress and plugins, most of them always look, work and feel like “add-ons” rather than a part of the overall system.

Drupal integrates everything. Add discussion forums and they’re automatically skinned with the site theme. RSS aggregator that’s as simple as turning it on and adding the feeds. Overall, Drupal is a little more difficult to get up and running than WordPress was, but I’m so glad I switched. As a bonus, I won’t have to deal with the horrible database hit that WordPress brings when a site gets busy.

I would love to see more coverage of Drupal (and other blogging/CMS options).

I know for a fact that some of my most read articles were those that were Plugin reviews for WordPress. Quite a bit of my popular posts are WordPress related content. Not sure why there is such a demand for WordPress related material as their are hundreds of WordPress specific blogs out their. I use the dashboard as I sometimes never open my FeedReader. It works great for when they release a new version. I usually get the new version within 1-3 hours of it’s release so I can write about it.

I don't use WP dashboard to get news about it. I prefer using Netvibes to get, because I can choose my favorites websites. I think that WPDesigner is a good source about WP, specially for who wants to learn about designing WP themes. I think that it could be put into WP dashboard news. There are a lot of others website and/or blogs about WP that don't come there. I wrote some articles and tutorials about it recently, but my blog is written in Portuguese and, so, I don't need to explain, do I?

I think there’s a mixed audience these days, some are experienced WordPress users that crave for great articles to take them to the next level and there are some that are totally utterly newbies and maybe that’s why WordPress related news are never enough.

that’s just my opinion.
