The official website for the Pulitzer Prizes was recently converted to Drupal 5.x by the Openflows Community Technology Lab. Content is entered via a large number of CCK content types, and almost all page views are handled via Views which amalgamate multiple types based on taxonomy terms. Particularly of note is the spiffy faceted search module which allows visitors to easily narrow their searches by taxonomy terms and content types. The project took several months, in large part because it included importing a huge amount of legacy content from a system last updated in 1995.

I've written a detailed description of our work behind the scenes in the success stories section of the handbook, for anyone who's interested, and I'd be happy to answer any questions the community might have.

It's nice to have a place to edit your own writing and to keep a blog.

Today's headline: "Drupal selected for the Pulitzer Prize... website"

Interesting use of the horizontal scroll bar. It might be hard to notice, though.

There are plans to replace the horizontal scrollbar with something nicer and more dynamic in the next phase of the project.
