We would need a git repo with special permissions | | and whatever. Drupal with its own account management can simplify | | this duty and allow multiple people to edit only part of the content | | available | | on the website. (i.e we have the administrator role that can modify | | modules, | | and pretty much everything, we do have the editor role that can | | modify | | just | | stories and other minor things) | | | | On a drupal istance adding and managing content is really easy, | | while | | doing a website from scratch (css, html, php, ...) can take more | | time | | to be | | developed and can take some of us to disagree on how the website | | will | | look like. | | (building a website requires a project and a lot of work to organize | | the content | | itself and its structure, while this won't actually happen with | | Drupal, since any of | | us have seen or played with a working drupal istance before today | | and | | know | | how and where the content is managed) | | | | Adopting static pages can be hard to maintain for a team, yet | | another | | vcs to | | push stuff to. But anyway I am open to any idea, my main interest is | | to change | | things making the current website a bit more useful and nice. | | | | Just my two cents. | | | | Andrea | | | I would highly recommend using CVS to maintain the base Drupal and | third party module instances. Using CVS with the appropriate stable | tags makes it easy to upgrade from version to version and makes | maintenance of the thousands of Drupal modules much easier. | | -- | James A.
