A forum and heavily integrated communication and support system is coming with Drupal which will support communication through mailing list, forum and XML. I am not sure how we would migrate items from a Silverstripe forum to a Drupal forum as they have to be attributed to a user. Please be patient, Drupal is only a couple of months off. > One such example is whether we will migrate to Drupal at all. > Everyone has an opinion. But what's the official stand? I don't know if there is misconception or misinformation. After Drupal has been developed into a full community site, it will replace Silverstripe. This is my interpretation of the decision made by the SC. This decision was announced on the website development wiki which nobody has challenged this for 2 months now. We have been in constant contact with Florian, our SC member, directly who has overseen the development with this goal clearly in mind, in line with the SC decision. As such I would put forward that anybody stating otherwise is ill informed or has misinterpreted the initial vote outcome. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.website/592 The discussion that Stefan has quoted is an internal documentation team discussion about if using Drupal as the primary tool for documentation development is the best option (Not relevant to the discussion here). If anybody can interpret the decision in any other way can they please cite a reference to a SC decision which contradicts this original vote for Silverstripe as an effective intermediate to the larger Drupal project. > http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Evaluation_of_CMS_Platforms#Preconditions_to_go_live_with_one_of_the_CMS > IMHO the feature-comparison is readily available at CMS matrix website > (www.cmsmatrix.org). The matrix which was constructed on the wiki had not been updated for Drupal. It supports 90% of the requriements out of the box, and we have setup all of the other 'preconditions' already. We are now building the rest of the community site not covered by this matrix. By the way www.cmsmatrix.org is inaccurate. I just read through the Drupal matrix and >50% of the assessment is totally incorrect.

To summarise: The official position as per the SC vote is to use Silverstripe until Drupal is considered ready, at which point we will move the content over to Drupal and replace the Silverstripe site. We are progressing well down this path and should be ready to do as the SC has requested early next year. Unless there is a discussion and decision otherwise I suggest that we all align our efforts with the SC decision and work towards improving the content on Silverstripe and the further consulting with project teams leading to the final Drupal site.
