mita to LSW, Drupal
Dear Drupal druids. I work for a university library. Should the library ask/fight for a standalone Drupal separate from our campus instance or is having our site via a campus multi-site setup an okay compromise? Please and thank you!

I´d say it depends on whether you'll be doing a lot (or any) customization to speak of, as far as module hacking is concerned. If you only need a few additional modules + templating, it wouldn't be too bad to share a multi-site setup I'd guess, plus you wouldn't have to do maintenance yourself (security updates etc.).

I think that's the right answer, yeah.

I love the idea of not having to worry about security updates but I'm concerned because I don't want to cut ourselves off from some really profound module hacking, e.g. The XC project http://drupal.org/project/xc in the possible future

It also depends on how much freedom the univ. IT will allow you in designing/administering your site. Could you ask for a trial on their installation to see if you really can do what you want? Be sure to be non-committal so that you can pursue an externally hosted site if need be.

Thanks. This reassures.

At the same time I started this thread, I sent an email off to the XC folks asking about their project a multi-site setup. They were kind enough to take the time to reply, and they said that for this particular project they didn't recommend it.
