Glad you took it as as such. :) Still, "many a truth said in jest" as they say. I really have seen people have a lot more difficulty getting Drupal projects completed vs. WordPress projects and then training users to understand Drupal is yet another complication where it's pretty easy for users to get WordPress. As way to explain and a rule of thumb I tell prospective users that the minimum WordPress project cost they'd pay a local consultant for a professional design and a bit of custom functionality developed in PHP and/or jQuery is about $2500 vs. the minimum Drupal is around $10k. Drupal typically makes the first 85% easy but the last 15% can be very difficult (and hence time consuming/expensive.) FWIW a year ago WordPress didn't have the feature set needed in core+plugins but does now. A partner and I are actually launching a conference in Atlanta called "The Business of WordPress" to highlight how to use it for local businesses in part because I want them to see how effective it is now. -Mike Schinkel Ignition Alley Atlanta Coworking http://ignitionalley.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
