Our Drupal installation should be upgraded to version 6 (from 5), and here we'll document the process.

Contributed Modules In Use with 5

It looks like some contributed modules we use with 5 are not ready for 6, but we can flesh out other issues while we wait (or discover an alternative).

For Drupal 6:
✓ = Official Release
none = Development Snapshot
✗ = Not Available

• Event
• Image ✓
• Mail Edit (used by Subscriptions)
• Diff ✓
• HTML to Text ✗ (now part of 6) (needed by Subscriptions)
• Taxonomy Access Control
• Taxonomy Context ✗
• Taxonomy HTML ✗
• Update Status ✗ (now part of 6)
• Subscriptions ✓ (we have enabled:
  • Content Subscriptions
  • Subscriptions
  • Subscriptions Mail
  • Subscriptions UI
  • Taxonomy Subscriptions

  )

Event

Event, with its content type and calandar display, should maybe be replaced with Date CCK fields and Calandar View.

Image

Image should perhaps be replaced with a CCK ImageField enabled node type.
