pavel.karoukin commentedResized screenshots to follow guidelines
Comment #2
pavel.karoukin commentedIs there anything wrong with this case study? =)
Comment #3
gdemetYou're just near the bottom of the front page story queue, that's all. I've marked this as "Needs review"
Comment #4
silverwing commentedGenerally I like this write-up. My main concern is the structure of the post.
You have the section "Before Drupal" which lists 7 dotnetnuke deficiencies, then you expand on them. I'd suggest changing "Before Drupal" to a "Why Drupal" section.
A conclusion section of some sort would be nice to end with.
Also, the first pic should be a 300 X 200 50kb(ish) screenshot. If you can get it to those specs, that would be great.
Comment #5
pavel.karoukin commentedThank you for your comments. I agree regarding "Before Drupal" => "Why Drupal". Also I've added conclusion section.
Not sure if jpeg images are ok, since I was not able to compress 1.png even more. Please see modified screenshots attached.
Please, let me know if something else needs to be done to finally promote it to front page =)
Comment #6
Everett Zufelt commentedI'm not sure what is required of a post to be promoted, but the accessibility section of this post isn't particularly informative. That is, there is no really useful content about accessibility in the Drupal CMS.
Note, I am not saying that the accessibility section is inaccurate, or bad, in any way. Just that it, on its own, doesn't really come across to me as containing unique and / or useful information.
Comment #7
pavel.karoukin commentedOur company do a lot of projects for non-profit and government organizations and accessibility is very important aspect there. In this case study I just wanted to point how easy it was to create accessible site with Drupal. It's way harded to do with dotnetnuke, joomla or wordpress. Most things are effort-less and just work as it supposed to work out of the box in Drupal.
Believe me or not - this is huge selling point of Drupal-based solutions. =) So if there is no strong objections against this section, I would really like to see it in final article.
Comment #8
pavel.karoukin commentedCould someone turn on html input filter for case study article so I can place images into correct places?
Comment #9
pavel.karoukin commentedIs there anything I can do to move this forward? :)
Comment #10
tvn commentedWe 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.
Comment #11
pavel.karoukin commentedHere we go again! :)
http://drupal.org/node/1619596
I basically made new screenshots and re-arranged content to fit into this form.
Looking forward for any comments or suggestions.
Comment #12
pavel.karoukin commentedAdding "case study promotion" tag
Comment #13
tvn commentedCase study is very detailed but it needs some work to be promoted.
Title should be much shorter - I'd suggest "MicroAssist - from DotNetNuke to Drupal".
Main screenshot should not have white spaces on the sides and shadows around it - for it to look good on the listing page and our future slideshow.
Case study text needs more detailed review, I just glanced over it.
Comment #14
Tezza commentedI'm almost done with this task.
Comment #15
pavel.karoukin commentedEdited main image to remove white padding and shadows.
Also, updated title to one suggested by tvn. Thank you for your tips!
Comment #16
Tezza commentedHi scrypt
I've had a proper read through your case study and have attached some suggestions that I think can improve its readability. Some of the suggestions are fairly 'black-and-white', others may be down to my personal writing style. Feel free to ignore those.
You provide many useful tips in this case study, making it well worth the read.

Comment #17
pavel.karoukin commentedTerry,
Thank you for suggestions. I will re-work article and post another update once done.

Pavel
Comment #18
pavel.karoukin commentedTerry,
I went through all recommendation (that a long list! :)) and did changes. Thank you so much. I am not native speaker and some things are not obvious when I type, but when I see corrected version it look so "right".. :))
Regards,
Pavel
Comment #19
pavel.karoukin commentedComment #20
Tezza commentedHi Pavel
You're very welcome. Let's just say your English is better than my Belarusian, and leave it at that :)
I haven't read through it again, line by line, but one correction that stands out looks to have been introduced by me - only the first letter of Git needs to be capitalized. Apologies for my lack of clarity there.
Two other minor corrections in the 'Completed Drupal site or project URL' section:
Missing word 'us': The Drupal reconstruction enabled us to rapidly develop etc
The following sentence is a difficult one:
For example, our marketing team just asked to add feature to know where from visitor came to webform.
You could try:
For example, our marketing team just asked us to provide a method for tracking a visitor's path to our webform.
Those corrections aside, I'm very happy with all the additional work you've done on this case study.

pavel.karoukin commentedHello Tezza,
Just did these changes.
Thanks again for taking your time to review it. :)
Regards,
Pavel
Comment #22
silverwing commentedYou might want to check the spelling in the title. (You'll probably give yourself a little forehead slap when you see it.)
Comment #23
pavel.karoukin commentedHaha. Nice find. Thanks. Fixed :))
Comment #24
lisarex commentedWould it be possible to update the copyright on the MicroAssist site to include 2012?
I think this is ready to promote to the Featured section, but would prefer if that got fixed!
Comment #25
Tezza commented+1
Comment #26
pavel.karoukin commentedDone :) Really excited to see it in featured section!!
Comment #27
Tezza commentedI've just been having a scoot around the website using Firefox, IE8 and Chrome (WinXP SP3) and found a 'broken' footer, here:
http://www.microassist.com/about-microassist/career-opportunities
There's no left sidebar content on this page, which could be related.
Two IE8-related things:
The search widget on the above page doesn't work well in IE8.
The Facebook links (wherever used) don't show up in IE8.
The IE8-related issues are by no means showstoppers, but the career opportunities page footer is certainly worth resolving.
Comment #28
pavel.karoukin commentedTezza, you are right. That's what happens when you give too much features to marketing team =/
Will fix it and post update once done.
Thank you!
Comment #29
pavel.karoukin commentedremoved this search widget completely. it totally breaks layout. this is some third-party service which apparently not well tested.
facebook widget seems to simply not work with IE8 as well. No JS errors or anything, just nothing... I guess FB team do not really worry about IE8 users perhaps?
Anyway, this layout bug fixed :) Thank Tezza for spotting it. I will talk to our marketing team about it :)
Comment #30
Tezza commentedGood (fast!) work, Pavel!
I have no further issues with the website or the case study.
It's ready for promotion so far as I can see.
Comment #31
pavel.karoukin commentedThank you Tezza!
Should I set "reviewed and tested by community" or there no other steps I should take to get it featured?
Comment #32
Tezza commentedIt may be that we need two reviewers to give it the go ahead after all amendments have been made, Pavel, but I'm new to the team so perhaps I'm being a bit too cautious.
Lisarex gave it the thumbs up pending a change that has now been made. I've given it the thumbs up following a further fix so I'm going to change the status to RTBC and we'll see what the guvnor says :)
Comment #33
silverwing commented@scrypt - you can't RTBC (reviewed & tested by the community) your own posts. (Or any your company worked on, or you helped create, etc.) Standard Drupal policy.
And thanks for being exceptionally patient with us as we made this transition to the new Case Study content type!
Comment #34
pavel.karoukin commentednot inpatient or anything, but when do you think I can expect promotion? :)
Comment #35
silverwing commentedscrypt, tvn and I are discussion technical aspects right now on IRC!
Comment #36
