Hi all,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been an amateur musician for about 20 years and a professional programmer for about 10. I've been using Drupal for a year or so and have built a bunch of sites with it.
Now I'm building a site for my new band (I haven't been in a band since high school), and I've decided to do it with Drupal's multisite feature under a fresh install of a fresh domain. I'll be starting with some (or all) of the suggestions from http://groups.drupal.org/node/5167 and I'll try to report my findings here.
Can't wait to meet you all. If anyone's learned anything new since that post, please tell me before I jump right in :)
Mike J.

Sounds great, looking
Sounds great, looking forward to hearing how things go! Documenting your experience will definitely be valuable.
Collaborative effort
Seems like theres quite a few who'd be interested in an 'open build' of a band site (create a collaborative workspace - document as we go - work towards a install profile/multisite for bands). Now we just need a few good bands who'd like a solution built by members of a very passionate, music loving, worldwide development community. Still figuring out the best way to coordinate, but there's definitely room for collaboration.

Multisite not happening yet
I started the multisite group because that feature was really great, yet somehow abandoned. Conversation seems to be picking up considerably. I wanted to be really confident so...
I decided to use a separate database for my new band. I'll try to keep you up with what I'm doing.
I'm looking into the changes from various other Drupal versions. Everything looks good except: it seems that when editing taxonomies (vocabularies) the heirarcal display should show when viewing the list, and not when creating a new term. This is the reverse of previous behaviour that made more sense: view the list of terms heirarchically, view the parent selection box simply.
I'll do bug jobs on that stuff.
Other than that, I'll keep doing what I'm doing :)
