I just flipped the switch on the site, so that it now runs Drupal. I had been running WordPress.

Why the change? Well, the principal reasons revolve around the features of Drupal and how I believe they can be used for my Law School Collective system, as well as for a little project I'm working on for BMWSportTouring.com. In addition, I tend to believe that it may well fill the roll at work we're currently looking at a wiki for... And I think it can do it in a more user-friendly, integrated way. In fact, there's even a person we've not entirely helped yet who I think could make use of the integrated service.

A replacement for a wiki? Well, principally, I'm looking at the collaborative book feature. We're primarily looking at a wiki to handle FAQ's at work. The collaborative book feature seems to take care of that, and it's in a much more natural form for users than a wiki is. We still get to track the changes, who made the changes, etc.

But we've also been talking about blog services. So, Drupal can subsume both most of the wiki functionality and handle the blogs, already configured to do so in a multi-user environment. Plus, it will happily hand us RSS feeds of every posting.

Then, there have been some who want message boards and notifications. Yup, it's in there.

I'll go into the BMWSportTouring.com stuff a bit later. This has run later than I anticipated.
