Audio Podcast:
Be Circle Podcast 4: Drupal 7 Alpha 2, Upgrading Drupal, DUGTO (Drupal User's Group Toronto Ontario)
Today I follow up on some topics from Be Circle Podcast 3 and touch on the adoption of Drupal 6 and Drupal upgrade paths.
Note: I noticed that I tend to say 'we' a lot in my podcasts. I usually mean we as users or we as a community and don't want to infer that we (as in the royal we, as in Be Circle) are necessarily claiming ownership of happenings or code or anything for that matter. I'm going to try and be a bit more clear in the future.
- Drupal 7 Alpha 2 Released with 250+ fixes
- jQuery 1.4.2 was also released. The second minor point release since jQuery 1.4 dropped last month
- Monthly Toronto meeting February 22nd 2010 at the Centre for Social Innovation - 215 Spadina
- A Survey of 2,368 Drupal Sites by John Forsyth. 53% of Drupal sites run Drupal 6. 42% still run Drupal 5. Why? How might they upgrade - if ever.
- Some articles I wrote about Upgrading from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6
- Upgrading to Drupal 7 still impossible
- Drupal 7 Upgrade Path issues
- It may never be possible to simply upgrade a typical Drupal 6 site to Drupal 7. At least not one that uses CCK.

'we' thing
You are right, I have noticed how often you use 'we' in your podcasts but it does not bother me anyway, I don't know with other people. By the way, I also plan to upgrade my system and will wait for your updates. Thanks a lot!

It would be of better use to
It would be of better use to make some modifications enabling the update of 6 to 7 possible. Plenty of users are certainly wanting to upgrade, but cannot because of some system settings that makes the operation impossible.http://www.howtobecomeaphlebotomist.com/
Views Didn't
Views didn't have an upgrade path from 5 to 6, but it was not included in core. To think that there will never be an upgrade path is insane. To think that it will be part of core is possibly equally insane. I found this podcast via a recommendation from my co-host @ultimike - we should have you on @drupaleasy soon if your schedule permits.
