You don't have to start from scratch to build a powerful, modern Web site. In this session, we take you through the organizational planning and Drupal development work currently underway to upgrade the The Public Press web site into a modern news destination.

The Public Press (www.public-press.org) is a San-Francisco-based news organization that covers issue of importance to the SF Bay Area -- without accepting advertiser dollars. The site was originally built on Drupal 5 with a blog-like format. We'll give you a sneak peak at the upgraded Drupal 6 site, which goes far beyond.

This session will be helpful to anyone interested in building news-oriented web sites, in upgrading Drupal sites, or in using Drupal to implement a strategy of adding features to a site over time to meet organizational needs.
