- How we chose Drupal
- The committee that built the new (2008) main CUL web page evaluated several options and decided on Drupal
- Many of us were working on the main CUL site redesign, gained experience with Drupal in the process, and saw that it was a good tool.
- It made sense to develop/convert other web sites with the same tool.
- We decided to stop supporting CommonSpot, and developed tools to migrate the CommonSpot sites to Drupal.
