I would like this case study to be promoted to the Home Page of d.o. There is really nice use of Social Networking features and modules such as 'Javascript Slider' on this site; it also has a recurring membership payments integration.

The site brings together a network of Talent (Models, others) and Agencies from the fashion and lifestyle industry globally; this site is therefore an excellent showcase for this industry for using Drupal.

My first quick glance review:

A link to the site would be nice.

Why did you choose Drupal? section should be added.

While you have a list of modules, your "Key Features" should have some information on how it was implemented/what you used.
I also like case studies where the author 'gives away' something that the readers may be able to use on their own sites - code, tips/tricks/ or an explanation of something that was a bit difficult. If there's anything like that, I personally like to see it.

Image sizes are a bit large on two of them. Check the image guidelines at http://drupal.org/front-page-schedule

SilverWing: Here's an update on your recommendations:

1) Reduced the size of images (apologies for missing the image guidelines on the size)
2) Added "Major Challenges" (and learnings/takeaways) and "Why Drupal" headers in the Case Study

Please let me know whether you feel the Case Study is in good shape now to be highlighted on the Home Page now? The case study is at: http://drupal.org/node/1079876

Thanks much!

Regards,
Rahul

The case study is quite descriptive and valuable for folks trying to build subscription & social networking features within their Drupal site.

The problem I'm having with this is you spend a lot of time describing how the site works, but little time on how Drupal made it happen. If you can put them together explaining how a module/code help make something happen, it would make it more beneficial to the readers.

In the first paragraph, you call this site a "secure website" - what does that mean? You don't say anything else about that.

Teach users something. I like to see posts where users can come away with either code or some knowledge that they can use on their own site.

We now got a new case study section: http://drupal.org/case-studies and forum posts not going to be promoted to front page anymore. You can publish a case study for your website (follow guidelines here: http://drupal.org/node/1588136) and then re-open this issue with request for it to be promoted to Featured case studies.
