I’ve been doing a bit of playing around with Drupal 7 in my copious spare time (not a whole lot of that!) One thing to say – it feels like as big an improvement as Drupal 6 was to Drupal 5. So Drupal 5 will no longer get security updates and the like. But some may well not make it.

A while ago, I joined a bunch of groups at groups.drupal.org , thinking I’d pick up some interesting ideas, and meet some folks who were doing cool stuff with Drupal. One of the groups I joined (along with “Drupal for Good&# and “Drupalchix&# ) was the PostgreSQL group. Yesterday, in my RSS feed, this post showed up.

Ongoing maintenance is a necessity, unless you choose Drupal Gardens , an affordable solution for simple sites. Do you have a full time staff member who lives and breathes Drupal?
