[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] ***SPAM*** Re: Drupal support update

[Roma Matott]

I came into this in the middle, so I might have misunderstood the plans to use Drupal.  I see why using Drupal for the website makes sense, but I have to confess I don't understand why you would want it instead of a wiki for the documentation storehouse.  

At my organization, we examined using Drupal for both our website and our documentation storage/retrieval system.  We determined that wikis really have better power to index, tag, breadcrumb, and all the other mechanisms needed to organize and find large quantities of information.  We are using Drupal for our website (launching it sometime in the next month or so), but we selected Twiki for documentation.

We are not using DocBook, so perhaps that is the difference?

Hi all, I've been thinking about Drupal and its functionality, especially the various modules, but that is about it on my end. 
There are lots of great (and not so great) modules in Drupal... and of course, I have my favorites, too. I can look at 
EG-ils.org with an eye towards Drupalizing, and see which modules might work best... at least it would be a start. ;-)

Just that I too surfaced around 9 .a.m. today from several weeks on 
the road, more or less, and think this is a great direction to pursue! 
Let us know what we can do to help... Paul Weiss and I are talking 
later today. 

I too need to wrap my head around style manuals and whatnot!
