I've just been reading about how to get the a site showcase on the frontpage, I just hope I'm doing this correctly.

We've recently launched National Theatre Wales' website, which was developed using Drupal and thought it would be great to share the experience with the community. We feel it pushed the boundarys of Drupal and Jquery.

Our post is at: http://drupal.org/node/637326

And I've attached some images, which I've already placed in the HTML of the post.

This is a very cool site, but to me the case study seems a little light on details about both the project and its technical implementation. Case studies that get front page promotion should ideally be "success stories" about how Drupal was used to solve a particular problem and provide insight for others.

Giving this issue another couple of days for input from other members of the webmaster's team to see if there's any interest in promoting this case study to the home page. If not, I'll mark it as "won't fix", and remove it from the front page schedule.

+1 from me -- this is a nice site, and the writeup is clean. While it doesn't go into much technical detail, it's a great example of how Drupal can be used to get a site live.

I also like how they used (and then abandoned) Ning :) -- always good to see that!

I think this could go live as is.

The only thing I see is that the username (hoffi) appears to be the same as the company name (hoffi.com). If there are multiple people at the company, they should all be using different accounts.

While the piece is good, before this gets promoted I would like some clarity about the company name/user name question I asked in #3:

The only thing I see is that the username (hoffi) appears to be the same as the company name (hoffi.com). If there are multiple people at the company, they should all be using different accounts.

If hoffi gets this resolved soon, it'll go up as scheduled. If it's not resolved by the 17th, we'll push it back.

Thanks for everyone's comments on this I've updated my Username to Andrew_Hoffi, its not just me at the company. However I am the one that has pushed for us to start using Drupal. Hence my enthusiasm.

Hope that the update to the username is ok now. I should also point out that we convinced our client to include a credit to Drupal on the homepage of http://nationaltheatrewales.org
