<div style=""><div>Hey all,</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Steve</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Drupal:</b></div><div>Pros</div><div>- Allows us to create super custom forms that ensure we get the right size images.</div><div>- Potential to code out features that will help (someday) fully automate add-art.</div>
<div>- It's running an kinda gets the job done - though we need to do some work to get the old galleries to display</div><div><br></div><div>Cons:</div><div>- No one on our team knows it really well</div><div>- usability for people approaching it cold is tricky.</div>
<div>- updates are labor intensive.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Wordpress:</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Pros</div><div>- a lot of us know it very well</div><div>- more users will be already familiar with it and usability barriers are lower</div>
<div>- greg is hot to code the redesign in WP</div><div><br></div><div>Cons</div><div>- not as extensible. Could hit limits</div><div>- potentially less able to fully automate add-art</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>
Misc:</div><div>If our new goal is to take feeds, maybe automating the whole process is a lower priority.</div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
