If all of the modules that you use are currently available in 6, then it is worth starting with 6. Otherwise, I would start with 5.7.<br><br>If you are starting a new site and a primary goal is to learn Drupal, it may also be worth starting with 6; otherwise, if starting a new site (which we are also doing), I would go with 5.7, get things working the way you want, and then plan the migration for later in the year when you can replicate the functionality you want (or refactor, taking advantage of 6, and improve).<br>
<br>By me, the crucial best practice is to plan and implement a new site using tools that are as stable and complete as possible, always knowing that there will =always= be a new version just released or on the horizon. There is no harm done getting up to speed away from the bleeding edge (unless there are specific features on that edge, or just plain being on the edge, matters).<br>

<div style="">Just curious...for those with experience with Drupal, is it worth bringing up version 6 considering that many modules don&#39;t seem to be supported yet. &nbsp;I&#39;m interested in trying out the actions and workflow modules...would I be better off sticking with 5.7?<br>
