Cool.

Is it OK to contact you via e-mail for more details? I am responsible for identifying possible solutions for my instutuion and would love to get more details on the procedure U of C used.

Jon – sure. I wasn’t involved in the entire process – just saw a couple of presentations and gave one myself – but will try to answer any questions you have.

Congratulations D'Arcy, you've done your homework and must've given a good presentation. This should be fun!

That's great, D'Arcy. I should probably get you access to our HostMaster mass-hosting system to kick the tires with. It requires a dedicated server(s) and Python/PostgreSQL, but is good if you want to create/maintain/upgrade 100s of sites.

Adrian is just in process of finishing up the 4.7 layer. We are now running Drupal 4.5 through Drupal 4.7, and can upgrade directly from 4.5 through 4.7 by clicking "upgrade site" in the admin interface.

P.S. I added your "drupal" tag feed to Planet Drupal.

P.P.S. I didn't add your feed, because I couldn't find the path for it. CommentRSS suppressing it? Not clear...

Email me if you want that feed added. I would love to have it there.

Yay! Wonder what we're going to get out of the UofC… Now I know my dollars are being well spent.

Congratulations, D'Arcy. I know you must have given them passion and precision in your talk–those qualities characterize all your work (photography included!). So nice to hear of a university making a good choice in CMS these days. I hope this is part of a massive trend.
