Well, it's been over a month since we deployed our new Drupal-backed site, so I decided to share it and general experiences & problems we've had with a migration to Drupal for a higher education website.
A while back we created an LDAP directory to consolidate account information for various back-room services, and when we created it we decided to use the individual’s e-mail address as the account identifier (uid in LDAP-speak).
As I grow more and more liking on Drupal, I decided to truly integrate my WordPress-powered blog with my main site. This is quite challenging, since database schemas differ between different content management systems.
After 8 months of development we are ready to release Drupal 5.0 to the world. Today is also Drupal's 6th birthday, so the timing could not be more perfect.
