Test Site Shakedown

I spent the evening installing, deploying and configuring a test site using Drupal. I deployed it on my personal hosting at Dreamhost and found the experience to be pleasant and refreshing.

This shakedown period will involve multiple deployments and configurations in order to become familiar with the technology in the configurations the council, students and groups have shown interest in. Figuring out what is or isn't possible and what is or isn't easy will happen during this shakedown period. Configuration also includes planning and setting up different types of users and making various sections of the site public, private or some combination of the two.

Shakedown has two deliverables: a demo at the Council meeting before summer and complete deployment/configuration directions. As yet the demo is undefined. Your ideas for the demo are encouraged.

Thanks,

Brody
