Open Atrium.. Drupal++
I've been a Drupal user since the days of 4.x, and I've seen the project and its contributions grow immensely throughout the years.

This is the first time in a while I've been genuinely excited about where Drupal-inspired creativity can go.
Pitchfork MPD site down, 0.5.5 package mirrored elsewhere
I wanted to set up Pitchfork tonight on my home server, which I've used before.
With dismay I discovered that the Pitchfork website is currently down (and probably has been for a very long time!), so I couldn't easily download it.
Fortunately a fellow named Luke McReynolds has generously hosted a tarred bzip of v0.5.5 on his server. You can download it from there.
I've also added it to http://www.mig5.net/pitchfork-0.5.5.tar.bz2 to aid the effort.
