My group at MIT has been developing some new tools for visualizing collections of structured objects, of the sort you would manage with flexinode in drupal. With these tools, you get a powerful Web 2.0 collection visualization that lets users interactively filter the data based on various properties and visualize it in tiles, lists, tables, interactive timelines, and google maps. You can find examples of our visualizations at our http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/ page. I have written a small read-only module for generating these visualizations from a drupal flexinode repository. Unfortunately, the only drupal site I am managing is private, meaning I can't use it to showcase what we have. So I am seeking someone willing to help showcase our tool. The work is minimal: I need someone to install the (elementary, Drupal 4.7) module I've written and one static page that will invoke the module. The module doesn't perform any database updates or otherwise mess with your site in any way; it simply exposes one special URL for accessing the new visualization. No configuration of the site beyond enabling the module is necessary. I believe you will find the visualizations quite compelling. Please email me at karger@mit.edu if you are interested.
