[Drupal] Version of Drupal

[Dan Watkins]

Chris,

I believe Drupal 7 is what you are looking for if you are going to release
the site soon. Drupal 8 comes out (supposedly) “soon” (like maybe winter
this year? …it keeps moving), so if you are willing to pay the cost of
being on the cutting edge, you may want to plan for that.  Check out the
latest here: https://drupal.org/core/release-cycle



I am very much a newbie as well, however I went to Drupal Camp last year
and a professional trainer gave us this advice: “If you’re even, stay even;
if you’re odd, stay odd” – meaning, only upgrade versions of Drupal every
other time. This is because the migration from one version to the next is
infamously packed with overhead and problems, however support for drupal is
usually only the newest one, and the previous 2 versions.



Hope I helped!

Good Morning all,

I am new as well, what is the current/updated version of Drupal that
everyone is using here at OSU? We are looking to do a major upgrade to the
Nisonger site as well.



Thanks, any help is much appreciated.
