Files & Images

How are files stored, can the path be referenced directly, or do they need to be stored as nodes. For images, use the image module or imagefield?

Users and Roles

What users if any to migrate over, how does the access system in the old site translate into Drupal's user access system?

External Services

Does the site provide feeds or other services? Or does the site depend on other external services such as Amazon, Youtube, etc. How will the interaction be translated?
