[add-art dev] Drupal vs. Wordpress for Add-Art site

[Steve Lambert]

Hey all,

Just wanted to open some discussion I've been having with a few of you  
about possibly moving the Add-Art site to wordpress.  Thanks to Alyssa  
and some help here at Eyebeam we've got drupal updated to the latest  
version but there's still a lot of work to get it where we need it.  
Here's some thoughts, please add yours and we'll figure out which way  
to go.

Drupal:
Pros
- Allows us to create super custom forms that ensure we get the right  
size images.
- Potential to code out features that will help (someday) fully  
automate add-art.
- It's running an kinda gets the job done - though we need to do some  
work to get the old galleries to display

Cons:
- No one on our team knows it really well
- usability for people approaching it cold is tricky.
- updates are labor intensive.

Wordpress:

Pros
- a lot of us know it very well
- more users will be already familiar with it and usability barriers  
are lower
- greg is hot to code the redesign in WP

Cons
- not as extensible. Could hit limits
- potentially less able to fully automate add-art


Misc:
If our new goal is to take feeds, maybe automating the whole process  
is a lower priority.
