The CLUE VPS will be having three Drupal systems in place for
reference. Two will be Drupal 6.20 with the third being a Drupal 7.0
"sandbox". This will be on CentOS 5.5 with MySQL backends. I can get
the specific versions later.

The initial game plan is as follows:
- Site #1 (Drupal 6.20): Mirror over the current CLUE web site with
URLs linking into Mailman's web pages.
- Site #2 (Drupal 6.20): Next generation of "site #1" using Drupal's
Mailman modules, Polls, Forums, and/or Wiki's.
- Site #3 (Drupal 7.0): Copy "site #2", just v7.0 difference.

The reason for the v6.20 and v7.0 sites is that not all of the Drupal
modules and/or themes are v7.0 ready. One example is the Google
Analytics module to help track web site traffic stats.

The reason for the MySQL vs. PGSQL (which I did pitch PGSQL) is that
not all of the Drupal modules and/or themes are "SQL neutral"
unfortunately. I have encountered a few too many in the past weeks
working on the CLUE Conference site as well as a few Linux ETC
projects where Drupal + PGSQL did not work entirely but Drupal + MySQL
did.

Thoughts, comments, and/or questions are welcomed.
