This page captures notes on evaluating Drupal for Fedora Insight.
🔗 Drupal general information
Drupal has many positive aspects that make it an attractive option for Fedora Insight:
- Very large install base, ~1% of websites run it (by comparison, 8.5% run WordPress, and just over 1% run Joomla)
- Drupal community is large and vibrant
- Drupal community principles well aligned with Fedora (100% FOSS)
- Most modules of interest seem to be very well suited from licensing perspective
Possible risk considerations:
- Drupal 5 -> 6 migration is not painless, though Drupal 6.16 is current and in Fedora
- Drupal 6.16 is not in EPEL-5, but may be available in EPEL-6
- Drupal 7 due at an unknown date, possibly June 2010 but depends on bug stomping
- Drupal modules need packaging for Fedora/EPEL
- Modules may move at a fairly brisk pace of change, requiring attentive maintainers
