Drupal 6.0 beta 1 released

The amazing people who work on Drupal core have taken another step towards Drupal 6.0 with its first beta release.

Having only discovered Drupal less than a year ago, I've not yet contributed much to the project other than documentation. I've been busy learning the system, setting up a business, doing a degree, and so on.

When Drupal 7 starts development, I'm hoping I'll be able to get more involved. Testing the new beta would seem an ideal point to start; kind of a warm up for Drupal 7. Realistically, however, I have an exam and a client that are going to be my priority over the next month.

But I'm going to find time if I can. There is no team I'd rather work with than the Drupal team. I'm really eager to get involved properly.

More information about the release can be found in the official post.
