Your points about "reinventing the wheel" and "repeating the same
stupid mistakes" are good ones. One of the most important benefits of
adopting a community based solution is having access to the work of
many, many intelligent people - that has been tested by time and
diverse install base - and has been improved with that experience.<br>
<br>
I recommend you use Drupal and direct your creative energies towards
bringing improvements to that project. What you'll begin with is quite
amazing. Why reinvent the wheel or start over at the beginning? <br>
<br>
Anyway - all the best!<br>

am asking this because I was working on a FOSS project for many months
and few bad initial design decisions and I had to spend a lot of time
rewriting a lot things, and basically the project has come to a dead
halt because it just not possible to fix those things now !<br>
<br>
I dont want to repeat the same mistakes again :) I want to be more
careful this time.<br>
<br>
I just to know what the provable things and the best approaches for
such projects - reinventing the wheel and repeating the same stupid
mistakes is just not fun :)<br>
<br>
