[support] Which one is preferable - Drupal 6 OR Drupal 7

[prothero]

Austin:
I'm not meaning to recommend that you start with Drupal 6. Eventually,  
we will all want to change to version 7. I just wanted to warn of some  
potential difficulties for 6 mo or so, and it is hard enough to get up  
to speed with Drupal, without having to deal with bugs and limited  
documentation.
