Welcome to Drigg!
Drigg is a powerful Drupal module written by Tony Mobily, that allows you to promote stories automatically based on your users' votes. Unlike other Drupal and non-drupal solutions, you can do this with amazing simplicity.
For a test site, see: http://www.drigg.org or http://www.fsdaily.com
Drigg was written in partnership with Applicom SRL
This site and this whole project are dedicated to my friend and inspiration Pamela Jones at Groklaw ( http://www.groklaw.net ). She saved the free software world from fools who wanted to steal our hard work. I dedicate Drigg to her because Pamela was my inspiration to work harder. To work better. And then, every now and then, have a deserved rest.
I've documented my Drigg installation ...
Posted October 10th, 2008 by wtaylor
I've documented my Drigg installation & (minor) tweaks & customizations, in a series of blog posts, for folks who might find this of interest -
here:
http://wt.similibus.org/tag/drigg/
also includes a couple of screencasts intended for users of my site, to orient them to use & features.
The site itself is world-readable, but editing is restricted to the academic community of my school (an "alternative" medical college).
Let me know if any of you find this helpful to your messing around with this most excellent platform!

Javascript guru wanted!
Posted September 10th, 2008 by admin
Hi,
Do you know Javascript, and want to help the Drigg project?
There are 3 or 4 annoying things right now that could do with some love. They are minor issues, which are likely NOT to be time consuming.
If you can help, please contact me: merc followed by "mobily1.com" . Thank you!

New drigg-distr.tgz released, once again!
Posted September 9th, 2008 by admin
Hi,
If the previous one was overdue... this new drigg-distr.tgz is a revolution.
There are tons and tons of new features in this new version of Drigg. It's also remarkably bug-free.
Thank you all. Please give it a test...
Bye!

New drigg-distr.tgz released!

This was _way_ overdue. I have released a new version of drigg in drupal.org, and have updated drigg-distr.tgz. I have also documented drigg-distr.tgz WAY better. Now, drigg-distr.tgz uses the latest Drupal 5.9, which fixes some problems and helps with performance.
PLEASE UPDATE your site!
I am glad the new drigg-distr.tgz is there. This means that people doing the express install will get the latest drigg.
Bye!
Merc.
Drigg is looking for a new co-maintainer!
Posted June 21st, 2008 by admin
I would like to ask the free software community to syndicate this entry as much as possible. It's not exciting, it's not "hot", but it is about the future of a great piece of free software.
The short version: I am looking for a new co-maintainer for [Drigg](http://www.drigg-code.org).
DRIGG: Feature freeze
Posted April 29th, 2008 by admin
Hello everybody,
The current version of Driggi s a disaster. For the next 2 weeks, there will be a strict "feature freeze": only bix fixes will go towards Drigg. [UPDATE: OK, it's no longer a disaster. I fixed the bugs that afflicted so many users. However, the "bugfix only" policy stays]
Right now the Javascript is slightly broken (that needs to be completely fixed) and Drigg is showing problems with IE in terms of IE's cache.
Have a watermark image on videos

Watermark on Drigg video uploads
- Create a watermark image of a camera or a film-reel, or something like that. Make sure that watermark’s background is transparent. Put that image in your theme’s /img folder. NOTE: make sure that the image is small , like 16x16 or something like that.
What's the best way to sponsor Drigg?
Posted April 12th, 2008 by admin
Hi,
Drigg is a lot of work. Kevin was a godsend, literally. However, the problem remain: what's the best way to sponsor Drigg?
We have a few ideas in the pipeline. Mind you, we don't _need_ sponsorship to develop Drigg. The current codebase is solid and easy to understand, and there are already two more people familiar with its code. So, if I quit tomorrow, the project would slow down - especially initially - but eventually it will pick up again.
However, knowing that I am paid at least a little bit for the work I put in would be nice.
