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

[Jamie Wilkinson]

I'd vote WP, largely because so many of us have experience w/ it and  
it can definitely do at least the basic version of everything we  
require. Plus it's easier to get others started running their own  
"gallery" on WP

Drupal's strict image requirements is nice, but it'll be deprecated by  
the auto-sizing tool (or just vigilant admins)
