Funny, I have to start learning Drupal for a client site. My first
impressions after installing it were:

1. Oh what a pretty way to do admin configurations, I wish PmWiki could
do some of it like this!

2. Give me PmWiki anytime for easy editing! How do I make text
emphasised (& any other style) in Drupal? Do I have to add HTML tags
in the editor?

3. What a poor help system, it does not explain much. So Drupal is using
nodes for everything, but what are they? (And where are the GUI
buttons? And styles?)

4. Oh dear, I made a new page, but lost it from the navigation! Where is
it?

Anyway, I hope it will get better once I dig into it...

If you have an idea how to do  a dual or multi language site with
Drupal, please let me know!
