 vmweb is still running Drupal 6 to provide our main website.

 The problem is that Drupal 6 is outdated and doesn't play along with newer
 PHP versions - PHP fills the logs with lots of warnings about deprecated
 constructs and it isn't clear if these warning cause actual problems or
 not.

 The sheer amount of modules used by our website make it difficult to
 maintain, so we should either upgrade to Drupal 7 or even move away from
 Drupal and rebuild our website by other means.

 waddlesplash and puckipedia have shown interest to try and migrate our
 Drupal 6 installation to the current version of Drupal. Once any of them
 makes progress with that, we will know whether or not upgrading Drupal is
 a feasible option at all (it might not be, due to some of the modules we
 use no longer being available in current Drupal versions).
