The site runs on a very old version of Drupal and is something that Bill custom built as his first project learning Drupal. Because of this there are some "features" that Bill himself has commented are not the best implementation. Because of his customizations, I've been loathe to try to do any sort of updating. I've considered rebuilding the site from scratch but there has always been one feature on the site that has had me a bit worried and that was the projects. That was one of those custom built things that Bill made that would not just translate through an upgrade to the system. In fact, a few years back, Bill looked at rebuilding the site from scratch as well and got as far as the projects and still didn't have a better solution. Additionally, the fact that the site is running on this older version of Drupal means that it is stuck running on my now aging home server instead of being moved to a cloud hosting provider.<br /><br />However, I've been looking at this again and have found an extension module that I think will allow me to reproduce the project functionality on the site with native (and therefore hopefully faster) systems. This will be a longer term project as I don't have a lot of time to devote to it but it is something I'm going to start working on. If I can make this work, everything else should be fairly straightfoward.<br /><br />So, this is your chance to chime in on features you'd like to see, things we need to keep, and stuff that can go away in a new starfrontiers.us website version 2.0. Sound off below. No promises but I'll take everyone's input into account.
