21 Developer Buy-In Developer skills and buy-in Steep learning curve - v. different model from 'plain PHP' Need for training courses – could NGO's join forces?

22 Workflow eg. Keeping Dev / Staging / Live in sync, moderation We should share best practices

23 Optimising for performance Trade-off between extensibility and speed But, very good tools to help with this, eg. devel

24 Ensuring code quality “Managing multi-module mashups” DB and theme can become interdependant PHPTemplate Themes can be too flexible Ideally more formalised processes eg. Code reviews

25 Challenges and benefits Benefits

26 Consistency Site consistency and design enforced Useful in a team developing lots of custom content!

27 Out of the box functionality Lots of functionality 'out of the box' esp. for communities User registration Navigation Taxonomy...etc. But you know that!

28 Reduced development time Massively reduced development time for key functions CCK and Views for custom data objects and queries Webform for...forms

29 ...and the rest! Flexible theming support Standard 'drupal way' gives developers shared vocabulary Drupal 6 has many big improvements...
