#1

There is also a listing of a few case studies in the "Who Else Uses Drupal?" section. It is broken out by category (current examples are "Magazines" and "Newspapers") so there should probably be some taxonomy for the case studies.

untagging redundant ooh yea.

Moving to section-specific component

Can we implement this using just a taxonomy term?

Keeping these as done right now until we have a very good reason to change.

I'm reopening this issue, as I think we should still consider moving case studies. Currently the Case Study landing page is just a top level book page without a clear process for adding or removing sites (see #997456: Process for adding sites to http://drupal.org/cases), and it really isn't very useful. If we had case studies as their own content type we could create fields for specific aspects of the case studies (and/or taxonomies), and make this section into a Solr enabled (and actually useful) marketing/discovery/learning tool.

Issue tags:+case studies

I'm going to tag the items related to the redesign of the "Case Studies" section, similarly to what we're doing for the Marketplace section...

...Changing the tag to match Neil's d.o. marketplace tag...

UNPUBLISHED Working on ioby.org migration - completed at http://drupal.org/node/1496692
Comments: There's some HTML that's not properly rendering in the "Describe the Project" field, but lisarex already knows. Also, bless whomever wrote the site up in the first place. Spot on with content.

UNPUBLISHED Working on iCitizenForum case study migration. - completed at http://drupal.org/node/1497006
Comments: HTML still showing, but in progress. Write-up could stand to maybe lose a section or two, but gives a currently complete picture of the site.

Dahon Folding Bicycles
Amazing case study that details all facets pertaining to what made up the site

Davis Applied Technology College Drupal Case Study
Nice case study detailing the process that lead to he selection of this site for use.

#15

Case studies that do meet criteria IMHO from review of list by alphabet -

Haydock-park.co.uk - Drupal powered website for a leading UK racecourse. - http://drupal.org/node/981602
HowToDoThings.com - Everyday experts solving people's problems - http://drupal.org/node/193566
Information.dk - Another Drupal Newspaper Site - http://drupal.org/information.dk

#16

Ones that I'll migrate:

http://drupal.org/node/176482 California Institute of the Arts (CalArts)
http://drupal.org/node/1220122 Chunk Fitness: Fitness for Everyone with Drupal
http://drupal.org/node/1265948 Cooper University Hospital Choose Drupal for Flexibility to Integrate and Manage Content Across Platforms

#19

If you have the site maintainer role on Drupal.org, you can make these redirects. tvn - please go ahead and request that in another webmasters issue.

#20

I fixed all already migrated studies, now we need to review/migrate what's left:
46 nodes under http://drupal.org/success-stories
and 2 nodes under http://drupal.org/node/233897

#21

There are still a lot of case studies to migrate and most of the time they need to be updated/adjusted for the new content type, which is best done by their authors. I don't want to postpone wide announcement of new case-studies section till we migrate all of them. And also people keep adding new pages to old /cases section.

How about we do the following:
1. move old case study book pages to archive book
2. contact all node authors informing them that we have new case study section and old case studies will be unpublished in 1 month and that they are welcome to migrate their case studies. ask them to leave a comment here when they do, so we could unpublish the old one.

In a month we'll take a look at how many were migrated and decide what to do with the rest. Meanwhile we could move forward with announcing new section and seek new case studies.

#22

+1 to tvn's suggestion in #21, with the agreement that we'll have the case studies section implemented with improved layout/design.

#23

I moved what's left of case studies to archive. Will start contacting authors as soon as someone will review case studies guidelines #1564766: Create case study guidelines.

#24

http://drupal.org/node/288658 to http://drupal.org/node/1497168

This one needs additional work; the site in question has had both the front-end and the backend redone a couple of times since the case study was written and the copy is outdated. I think this case study is well-written and should be kept in the list, but it should have a note at the beginning explaining that this is the story of the site's 2008 rebuild and that there have been a lot of changes made to it since. We should also go back to the 2008 version of the screenshot, as the version currently there was designed for a newer version of the site.

This would be a good candidate for a "classic" or "hall of fame" category; regardless, the screenshot should be reverted to the 2008 version. I can't seem to find the original node; any pointers?
