Dunno, don't know that stuff.

Sure.

If we're considering a facelift for the homepage, we should consider dropping 
flyspray (the bts engine we're using now) since it's just a big mesh (eg. open 
for at least 3 types of attacks that're listed as top 25 security bugs). While 
at it, we should consider what's the best for us: (try) to maintain and 
administer several different systems (homepage-ng, flyspray/bugs, 
b2evolution/blogs, (planet|bilbo)planet/planet, polls/whatever phayz uses for 
them now, etc.) with their skins/themes/designs - or moving the whole thing 
as-is to Drupal?

Drupal is capable of handling all of the above-mentioned functionality, easy 
to maintain, easy to administer, easy to work with (both for developers and 
end-users), and it should be fairly easy to change the theme (as Drupal 
separates display and business logic fairly good). I must admit that the 
migrate process would cost more than a month, though - and it's just a rough 
estimate. There are other benefits of using only one platform: you don't have 
to register to several different FW-related sites since there would be only 
one; you don't have to remember several (hopefully different) passwords, etc.

Should you have any questions, I'm open to answer them, doing my best.
