I am planning to start a course builder web site, and I am trying to take the right choice, wither to choose Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 ??

What I've noticed that most modules are still not ported to Drupal 7 yet. What are the risk to start developing the website with version 6 ? and what features at version 7 that I would lose ??

Thanks in advance!

Unless there are modules you really need that only exist in Drupal 6 and have no stable version in Drupal 7, I'd say go for Drupal 7.

You'll need to upgrade sooner or later, and starting with 7 from the start will

• Make you more experiences in 7 without first having to learn 6
• Have the site be made for 7, instead of made in 6 and then converted to 7.

Plus, 7 has a few things that vanilla 6 doesn't have.

See this question that was asked more than a year and a half ago, where 6 was recommended until a stable 7 came out. Drupal is now at 7.8 - should be stable enough for you.

Drupal 7 comes with new quality of code. Each core module has its own unit tests, which can be used to check the code. It also provides UT module, which makes easier to write test for your custom modules. Unit testing really helps in eliminating bugs from the code.

I'd recommend using Drupal 7. Modules are being ported from version 6 to 7 all the time. The major ones are already there, like views

Drupal 6 has masses of modules and themes, whereas Drupal 7 has a few more features and a slightly better admin panel, it dosen't have that many modules or themes.
