I'm cross posting this from here in case anyone else has any information to share: http://drupal.org/node/187464
Hi Fellow Drupalers,
I'm working on a session for BADCAMP (http://badcamp07.org) where we will walk through some cool, popular and high performance Drupal sites. The main focus here is high-profile, big companies, high traffic. What is the biggest and highest traffic Drupal site out there?
I'm gathering additional research and so if anyone is interested please fill out the below template with as much information as possible for a couple of the top sites you know about or have developed, ideally 3 or 4 sites? Possibly some nice rare ones people don't know about? Please fill out as much information as possible. If you can't fill out any info, at least the site URL would help and I can do more research from there.
This once this research is complete, it will be put on Drupal.org as well and this will be great marketing material for the Drupal community.

There's already a case study template which I think covers a lot of the same territory: http://groups.drupal.org/node/6418
Perhaps you could merge yours into that and then between you and Boris get some of these sites to complete a profile.

Thanks Greg
Thanks for the link Greg. This info is a little more specific, but yes, some of it could go into the case study template for sites. Coming up with a wholesome case study template can be a little difficult since everyone does them so differently but I'm sure we can get a good one together that works well for most people.
