production

Dear all,

I thought it would be very helpful if I would bring it up here.

Our situation is that we are moving a large, multi-user knowledge management Portal into private beta. While we wish to have a "live" version of the site, with content creation, file upload , image upload and addition etc, we wish to maintain active development on several aspects of functionality.

It's gotten to the point I've realized I should stop mucking around with features on our live site and create a stage or development site.

This seems tricky with a newspaper, though, because if you work on the stage for a week and then just move it live, you're wiping out a week's worth of uploaded content.

What are you using for moving features, etc from stage to production?

We're Drupal.org/NOVA members and a local (NOVA/DC) based hosting company.

Members are the group are invited to contact us if you need staging or production space on one of our dedicated servers in order to develop/test Drupal configurations.

We're always busy and not able to attend the meetings so we feel this is the best way to show our support!
