From a talk at DrupalGov Canberra 2016:
When you first experiment with Drupal, it's easy to get excited about the flexibility of the entity system. But there are traps for young players. In particular, if you're planning to use "secondary" entity types like taxonomy terms or users to store complex content, it's important to know what you're giving up.
In my previous article on content modelling, I tried to be platform-agnostic; most of what I said there can be applied to a website built in any content management system.
But when you get down to the nitty-gritty of content modelling, the platform you choose can make a big difference.
Last Friday, I was lucky enough to be at the 2014 DrupalGov conference in Canberra. Organised by DrupalACT, DrupalGov is an annual chance for people from all levels of government and members of the Drupal community to meet, get to know and learn from each other.
Angus and Rikki had a wonderful time at DrupalCon Sydney - meeting new people, learning about all the great things happening in Drupal, and sunning ourselves by the beach in Coogee!
Our talk "Content strategists and developers: We need each other!" was very well received. It even gets a shoutout from Drupal luminary Jeff Eaton is his podcast summarising the conference (listen to the whole thing, but we come in around the 27:45 mark).
