What does Drupal 7 mean for the way we build sites?

  • If you haven't already embraced fields, get ready to be embraced by them. Fields on comments, taxonomy terms, and more.
  • The same vocabulary on one node twice or more times?
  • Sharing the usability improvements with our site administrators (don't hog the Dashboard)
  • DBTNG (Database The Next Generation) ... and NoSQL? Another way to scale Drupal.
  • Subthemes.
  • Wasn't D7 supposed to usher in the semantic web? Where's the RDF hiding?
  • What do you want to know? Ask me (via Agaric contact form).

If there is audience interest and time, we can go over upgrading modules to Drupal 7– because that's the hardest part of upgrading our sites, making sure all the modules we want to keep using are available!
