++ I see that Koha uses Plone (another system I actually prefer over Drupal) I'm assuming Drupal came up only because we have people with expertise in that system? What is the current setup to maintain the site - SVN? > Yeah, despite the coolness of rapid growth and new modules, Drupal upgrades continue to be a pain point. A major version Drupal upgrade is more like a migration to a totally new system. Inevitably, some of your favorite components will not keep pace, or will change functionality, or will lose their settings from the previous version. But of course you are enticed by the "must have" modules that don't have any backports and are only available in the newer versions. > In practice, none of the Drupal sites I've been around have survived an upgrade entirely intact. (I'm just as happy not to have been admining any of them.) That explains waiting a year to move to newer code. ++ I myself am a TYPO3 fan where I have seen pretty minimal issues with upgrades, of course big version changes are not as frequent and I'd argue TYPO3 "is hardER to beat as a total package" to feed the flame war : ) -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Anoop Atre IS Developer & Integrator, MnPALS PH: 507.389.5060 OF: 3022 Memorial Library (Office-ML 3022) -- "Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens" ~ Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller
