[wp-edu] WordPress in higher education Google sheet

[Hugh Paterson III]

To those Drupal users... What plan do you have to move your sites from D6 to D7+/D8? When working with this many sites moving software version forward seems to be really important. Degree of customization fits in here somewhere too. So, I would really like to hear more as I am architecting using D7 right now, but have a WP-MU on my personal server, and for upgrade paths WP seems to win.

That increases the length of the sheet, making it appear that Drupal is used in higher education more than is WordPress.

>> In any case, thanks to everyone for updating this sheet over the past 3-4 years. It's a testament to the amazing use of WordPress in higher education.
