Hi Guys
Just after some feedback.
I've got to develope a site that allows easy update and changes by customer, I will be involved in some changes and management but day to day will be handled by the client.
The site is basically a membership based information site for fitness.
Some of the features required are membership subscription with payment being made at the time. There will be a member's area and non-members area. Ability to upload videos, similar to YouTube kind of thing. Uploading of PDF's. And adding of news articles and new pages.
Am looking at Drupal for this will it do all these things?
Feedback would be very much appreciated
thanks in advance

from the research i've done,
from the research i've done, drupal is one of the best options for creating community sites of this sort, short of writing your own system from scratch in languages like php and ruby on rails.
it offers plenty of flexibility because there are tons of modules and an active developer community contributing to the project on a daily basis. the downside is it's harder to figure out "out of the box" than other content management systems as there's lots of jargon and logic that you have to wrap your head around. but as i said most other systems out there that you'll look at are aimed at blogs and corporate sites.
