drupal

...

I just want to toss in that there are a lot of people who are "stuck" with two Drupal-related situations right now:

  • There are a lot of sites still running the now unsupported Drupal 5 and there is no direct way to get from Drupal 5 to Drupal 7.
  • Drupal 7 is a very different animal. The good news is that it is a serious cleanup of a lot of old ideas patched to come close to working better. Unfortunately for Drupal 5 and 6 users, a move to Drupal 7 is at least painful and, for many, close to impossible. So much Drupal functionality is in modules. In Drupal 7, a popular set of modules has been moved into the core but thousands of users who happened to pick what seemed like a popular module ages ago are finding out they have a huge conversion task in front of them.

That's a long way of saying that a Drupal 5 and 6 importer could get a lot of these folks moving to Cotonti.
