There have been some interesting comments from Drupal users on my blog-post that compared the requirements with modules and features. http: //dag.wieers.com/blog/drupal-for-centos-portal-and-forums#comment-972 http: //dag.wieers.com/blog/drupal-for-centos-portal-and-forums#comment-973 http: //dag.wieers.com/blog/drupal-for-centos-portal-and-forums#comment-978 I guess that is a first stop when assessing Drupal's capabilities.
That is good, however they dont say anything more than whats already available on google searches for these things. What we really would need before deciding is to have someone offer to take ownership of the effort to evaluate drupal, do the setup, setup some of these features and see how usable it really is.
I can certainly ask the people the reacted on the blog-post, but in that case (s)he should have access to the system to configure it.
eg. I am looking at Drupal for my own site and I find venturing into the modules portion of drupal immediately drops the quality of code, and even the ownership of security issues. It seems Drupal guys dont take on security issues for things that come from the modules or related projects that are being used inside drupal.
I think that is the difference between the core modules and the contributed stuff. As soon as they would take ownership it would be as part of the core.
Of course, core developers also contribute modules, so it largely depend on the module itself.
