Issue Summary
Hi,
I've posted a case study of our latest Drupal site, for new UK public policy think tank ResPublica. You can see the case study here: http://drupal.org/node/621856
It would be great to have this featured on the home page - we're actively talking to a number of other organisations in the UK politics/government space and want to make Drupal a central plank of that (hey, if it's good enough for the White House...).
I've never written a case study on drupal.org before, so please let me know if I should edit or improve it in any way.
Thanks,
Rob

This has been added to the calendar for review.
#2
I've reduced the size of the home page screenshot and turned on Full HTML, so this post is now ready for other site maintainers to review in consideration for promotion.
#3
Thanks! :-)
#4
Following up to see if any other site maintainers would like to offer their thoughts on putting this story in the queue for front page promotion.
#5
In case it's relevant, the official launch of the ResPublica think tank will be on Thursday 26th, where Conservative party leader David Cameron will be giving a speech (there's some press coverage here amongst other places).

Would be better if site can have some more content.
#7
That's a good point. There isn't a huge amount of content yet, as this is a new organisation. However, they have a large full-time staff and are going to be publishing several reports in the next few months. They've also just opened up a blog section which will feature guest contributions. There was also very considerable media interest following the official launch of ResPublica on Thursday, which has caused a considerable traffic spike (which Drupal handled perfectly!) and lots of new comments and engagement from the public.
#8
As this has now sat for over a month with no comments from any other site maintainers, it doesn't look like there's sufficient interest in promoting this case study to the home page at this time. I'll leave this open another couple of days just in case, but then I'll have to mark it "won't fix".
