[Ubuntu-be] Website layout

[Wouter Horré]

Hi all,

I would like to give my opinion on the website thing. I will not comment on 
the drupal vs ubuntu-nl thing directly. I will only give my general opinion 
on website development.

I think developing a website from scratch is not a good idea anymore these 
days. There are a lot of good content management systems available, so idealy 
a website should built on such a solid base.

To give an example: when I helped writing some code for the 
support-points-map, I had the feeling we were reimplementing functionality 
that has been implemented a thousand times before... (no offense). We were 
implementing a profile system while, for instance, Drupal has a profile 
system that can be easily extended with new fields.

For example: the User Control Center we are developing at ULYSSIS 
(https://ucc.ulyssis.org/) is completely built using Drupal modules.

just my 2 cents
Wouter
