Alumni association for Japanese technical trainees

What is JICA Alumni?

Overview

In 1954 Japan began accepting overseas technical participants, and by June 2000, the number of participants accepted under JICA programs had exceeded 160,000.

Over the years, many alumni associations have been voluntarily formed by former participants wishing to maintain contact with Japan or learn more about the country. The first association was set up in the Philippines in 1967, and today there are 103 alumni associations in 89 countries (as of March 2005) worldwide with more than 50,000 members.

DRUPAL IS BETTER THAN XOOPS

After one day (just a few minutes actually), I can conclude that Drupal CMS is better than XOOPS CMS for my ASJAA project. The reasons being:-

I tried to pull out news from other sources to my XOOPS portal via RSS and it's fail, fail and fail!. With Drupal, the success come in the first trial!. Good luck.

For now I already uninstall XOOPS and re-install Drupal for ASJAA.

Good luck Drupal.

my dream for ASJAA Portal

I want a simple portal or blog for ASJAA. I want it very easy to update. I want the portal that can be updated from e-mail and/or handphone. I also want to display the content of the website from other alumni via RSS. Are there any features of that?.

Previously I'm using XOOPS. I'. very familiar with the CMS and easily can configure it. However I failed to up the RSS.

Today I'm trying drupal and will update you with the progress.

Regards.
