(Drupal is a nightmare. I've run a very busy site that's
been using it
from somewhere around the 3.xx release.)
One again i'd like to suggest we wait and bide our time to
see how the
w.g.o design turns out. Also as far as I understand they are
implementing it using Plone on Zope. We should ultimately
aim to adopt
the same technologies so that we can reuse work and
potentially the same
hosting platform (Zope makes it very easy to create virtual
hosting
environments for users with ACLs.)
Cheers,
Rob
