New Website

<SUMMARY_GOES_HERE>

Project Lead: renderguy

With a focus on modularity the site itself will use a componentised approach, allowing greater flexiblity and scope for future growth:

• aqsis.org (news)
  • ./ - Drupal aggregator
• blog.aqsis.org (behind-the-scenes)
  • ./ - Blogger weblog
• community.aqsis.org (support)
  • ./live - EggDrop IRC bot
  • ./forum - Drupal forum
  • ./metrics - Ohloh metrics
  • ./wiki - DokuWiki documentation
• download.aqsis.org (downloads)
  • ./ - OSUOSL FTP
  • ./project - SourceForge hosting
• foundation.aqsis.org (company)
  • ./ - Blogger weblog
• gallery.aqsis.org (showcase)
  • ./ - Flickr gallery
• lab.aqsis.org (development)
  • ./build - Pulse build system
  • ./doc - Doxygen documentation
  • ./metrics - Ohloh metrics
  • ./project - SourceForge hosting
  • ./testing - RTS output (maintained by ./build)
  • ./wiki - DokuWiki documentation
• login.aqsis.org (authentication)
  • ./ - Drupal user
• store.aqsis.org (shop)
  • ./ - Spreadshirt shop

One of the major goals for the new site is to work smarter, rather than harder, and this is where leveraging existing services (when needed/possible) offers many advantages/benefits.

These services include:

• Flickr - Image management (gallery).
• Google - Analysis, feed, mapping and other tools.
• OSUOSL - File hosting (secondary download).
• SourceForge - Project and file hosting (primary download).
• Spreadshirt - Online store.

This project is currently in the early development stage, but is expected to move fairly rapidly given its new priority.

• Set-up and configure required subdomains. Done (20080115)
• Organise file hosting options with OSUOSL. Done (200801??)
• Install and configure base CMS system to function as new site.

• Migrate relevant data from existing CMS to new CMS.
• Bug-fixing.

• Provide clean, consistant, look (theme) to new sites.
• Disable existing (old) CMS, favouring the new.

• Promotion of site(s) and services, ideally timed for Aqsis 1.4 release.
