Regarding our current setup, I know we have an email server and a web server and something written in PHP. Drupal is written in PHP and needs a database; either MySQL or PostgreSQL will do. If we migrate, what needs to be moved?<br><br>I don't know what Sean's setup is yet. That is why I asked him to provide information. I think he hosts for a number of businesses, hopefully from some business facility. He uses Proxmox for VMs, and he said it has a Drupal module.<br><br>I've been experimenting with Drupal, but I should ask if Greg would be willing to get involved. I want certain people to be able to make their own edits: the speaker coordinator and Dave Anselmi are two that should be able to. I want forums. Dave Anselmi wants a blog and it can do that too, but I don't know if I want every member to have one. There are a number of modules that can be added but not everything needs to be done at once.<br><br>I want to see about having the forums and mailing lists work together. That might be the most difficult part.<br><br>I want a set of procedures drawn up for maintaining the site, so it is easier for anyone to take over.<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Crawford Rainwater" <crawford.rainwater@linux-etc.com><br>To: clue-admin@cluedenver.org<br>Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 3:31:15 PM<br>Subject: Re: [clue-admin] CLUE steering meeting<br><br>Dennis and folks:<br><br>Will not be able to attend since that is also Thanksgiving weekend.

I've<br>> asked Sean Perry for some information about hosting with him.<br>> <br>> Migrating the website to Drupal. Drupal will let us post news and<br>> provide forums and blogs, as well as other features supported by<br>> modules.
