We recommend this for the Drupal Front page because it describes a method of using Drupal to efficiently build a system of "brand ambassadors" who help to market products. Many industries and product lines have a need for these types of resources. To our knowledge this is one of the first time Drupal has been used to build one of these programs, and publicizing this might spark similar ideas in others who wish to see Drupal utilized in this way. The Case Study also details how the UberCart Coupon module was adapted for this purpose.

gdemetThis has been sitting for over six weeks now without any webmaster review; I just wanted to give it a bump in case anyone wants to weigh in before closing it out. Personally, I think this is an interesting case study from a purely business perspective, but it seems a little light on the details of how Drupal was utilized for this project.

Omar Khan commentedThanks for the feedback. We understand the light on Drupal-specific stuff, and have added a good deal more detail on how specific Drupal hooks and functionality helped accomplish the site's business goals.
Comment #3
gdemetThanks for these revisions! This now gets a +1 for promotion from me; now we just need another webmaster/site maintainer to give their +1 as well to get this on the front page schedule.

Amazon commentedHi, I've reviewed this case study an in general I think the content is excellent. It's a great narrative tied into explaining Drupal's features. There are few things that are missing which I believe are an important part of educating our audience about using Drupal to build websites and web applications.
Again, I think this is a great case study, keep up the great work.

gdemetMarking this as needs work until Amazon's concerns are addressed.

gdemetAmazon, can you confirm in thread?

rjivan commentedCouple of questions/comments.
1. I don't see how "This project was another collaboration between design and development shop ISL Consulting in San Francisco, and ClearMetrics digital agency in New York." fits under the Problem section.
2. Most case studies list out a couple of contributed modules that were used. Can you list out a few apart from ubercart and webform and hyperlink them to the module's home page.
3. Were any custom modules written? If you can you talk about them.
Comment #9
Omar Khan commentedThank-you. We have moved the sentence in 1., mentioned and linked the primary contributed modules used (2.), and for 3. added a section on the custom module created to meet the site's requirements. Hopefully this suffices.

gdemetAwesome, I've added it to the schedule for tomorrow, 4/6.
Comment #15
gdemetLooks like this didn't get posted last week, and an announcement about some d.o downtime went up in the meantime. Given that, I'd like to move the promotion time for this to 4/12 after the downtime is over.

gdemetThis has now been promoted.
