Hello Yi Hao,

I freely admit to being a Drupal partisan. Yes it is harder to learn, 
but it provides much more functionality and is far more customizable. It 
is designed to be a CMS for building online community sites.

I am not wedded to it, though. If we, as a group, want something else, 
fine. Wordpress seems to me to be primarily a blogging-oriented CMS, but 
I admit that I do not know it nor the full extent of its capabilities. 
AFAIK, we could get a free WordPress blog on the wordpress.com site. 
Does that meet our needs?

What sorts of maintenance tasks would you be comfortable doing? In other 
words, to you want to write articles, do administrative work, some 
combination there of?

Cheers
David
