Our consultancy were closely involved with the whole process

13. Key points/learning from it all:

14. God (or the devil) is in the taxonomy views…

15. Taxonomy + views are a powerful
way of organising a project, but have
key limitations.
It helps if your designer/IA is aware
of these limitations (e.g. limited data
that can be added to terms).

16. Field overrides! (though not so bad for D7, I hear)…

17. Theming individual fields is far more
powerful (and cleaner) than doing it
from CCK could ever be.
Though it’ll also make you take a
crash course in PHP.

18. Node references can also be a nightmare, or incredibly useful….

19. Knowing how the content is going to
be interacting with different sections
plays a huge role in setup
(or, plan twice, cut once).

20. Thanks.
