Drupal 6 or Drupal 7? [closed]

Question

I am planning to start a course builder web site, and I am trying to take the right choice, wither to choose Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 ??

What I've noticed that most modules are still not ported to Drupal 7 yet. What are the risk to start developing the website with version 6 ? and what features at version 7 that I would lose ??

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Unless there are modules you really need that only exist in Drupal 6 and have no stable version in Drupal 7, I'd say go for Drupal 7.

You'll need to upgrade sooner or later, and starting with 7 from the start will

• Make you more experiences in 7 without first having to learn 6
• Have the site be made for 7, instead of made in 6 and then converted to 7.

Plus, 7 has a few things that vanilla 6 doesn't have.

See this question that was asked more than a year and a half ago, where 6 was recommended until a stable 7 came out. Drupal is now at 7.8 - should be stable enough for you.
