Santa Barbara IMC to use Drupal

Hi all,

I am pretty much the sole admin here at http://sbindymedia.org. We are still running dada (in archive mode) and I have been trying to put together a Drupal install that would suit our needs. (Trying for many months now). A suitable place to host is one of the last issues. (and then there's the dada import, eesh).

We started with a 4.7 install, but as 5 grows I'm highly considering switching to 5.1 and dealing with any lack of modules. Is there a list of issues related to getting 5.1 up and running as an IMC cms? Do people recommend sticking with 4.7 or just switching?

Can we at least get a wiki story going with all of the IMC groups that are running Drupal and list which version and modules they have installed? I realize some of this is on the docs.imc.org server, but it's down and this would be information that the larger Drupal community could use also.

The last part I've really struggled with lately is finding an IMC friendly Drupal hosting server. The server we lease is way outdated and needs a complete overhaul to run Drupal. Does anyone have recommendations on where we could host an install that is friendly to IMCs (logging, large upload size, etc).

onward!
