SedDB Runs on Drupal

GfG has decided to power their websites using Drupal technology, a free open-sourced Content Management System (CMS) written in php. In efforts to streamline some of the backend technologies used on our various sites, we've hooked Drupal up to a PostgreSQL database.  As part of the GfG migration project, all GfG systems are now launched using Drupal.  Over the next few months we will be working rigorously on a friendlier navigational system, more robust tools, and the ability for our users to more closely interact with the GfG team and their peers.
