Last week, Drupal 8 went to Release Candidate phase, actual release is imminent and we're excited. We've started our first Drupal 8 project and for me, its like having a new car with all the new funky gadgets and new car smell.   There has been discussion in the Drupal community regarding whether Drupal is becoming more and more enterprise and leaving the smaller guys behind.

Flicking open the Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide, lets see the current (21-May-2011) Drupal 7 SEO situation;
