Yes, and thank you for your support, it is much appreciated.

I have used both and I think it is obvious from just using it, let alone
the administrative advantages/disadvantages. I also think that Mikael
outlined exactly why Drupal would be the best choice for gtk.org.

I am not sure we really need that with gtk.org at this point. At the
moment it is a clear case (x)html/css update of the site and general
clean up.

Also, after speaking with Tim further, we have decided to progress with
the site update without a CMS for the time being since we don't have the
hardware for it and the wait is likely to be several months.
