As a part of Case Studies initiative we are migrating best old forum case studies to the new content type. Drupal Showcase forum won't be used as a showcase anymore, see http://drupal.org/node/281920 for more info.

To migrate your case study:

1. Follow guidelines http://drupal.org/node/1588136 and post new case study.
2. Leave comment in this issue when you are done, we will unpublish the old node and set redirect to the new one.

If you think that your case study is outdated and you are not going to migrate it, please leave a comment here.

I was originally responsible for reviewing and preparing many of these for home page promotion, so I'll go ahead and take a first pass to see which ones are still relevant and could be candidates for inclusion in the new case study section.

Following up on this; I'm currently in the process of going through and organizing each of these into the following categories:

To be Migrated
Outdated
Classic/Hall of Fame
???

I'm doing this work in a separate document; once that's done, I'll post the list here for community feedback. The next step will be to migrate "To be Migrated" case studies to the new format.

annie stone’s picture

I would like to help, should I wait for gdemet to classify first?

gdemet’s picture

Hi Annie - I'm hoping to have the first pass finished later today.

annie stone’s picture

ok cool :)

gdemet’s picture

It's going to take me at least until tomorrow to finish the review, but once that's done, we'll need a lot of help migrating the "to migrate" case studies to the new format. By my rough count, we're talking at least a couple dozen.

gdemet’s picture

Okay, I've sorted through all the case study links, and here's how I've broken them out:

Next step is for folks to review and validate my list above, then I guess for folks to claim case studies to migrate.

I'll start with this one (that I helped write), see how long it takes, then come back and claim more:
Foreign Affairs Launches on Drupal 6

tvn’s picture

Thank you for help with this gdemet. It is still a lot of case studies to migrate. Probably it makes sense to contact original authors and inform them about the situation. Hopefully at least part of case studies will be migrated by their authors then and we will do the rest. I'll be contacting authors of case studies from http://drupal.org/cases today/tomorrow, can contact this ones also.

@tvn,

So, since you you contacted the original authors, does that mean that I shouldn't work on migrating case studies until we hear back from them? Is there a place where it will be indicated if the author is going to migrate it?

tvn’s picture

Ben,
for now I've only contacted authors of book pages case studies #372039: List out and migrate case studies from book pages to new Case study content type (comments 25-27 have lists of whom I did/did not contact). I did ask them to comment in that issue when they migrate their case study or if they decide not to do so (and 2 already did). In the mean time you can work on the case studies from this issue.

I've updated issue summary. Took gdemet's list "to be migrated" and also added some sites from "Classic" list which still run Drupal and I feel should be migrated also. Starting to contact their authors, I'll update issue summary as I go.

Also, gdemet, annie stone (or anyone else) - I posted an announcement yesterday https://association.drupal.org/node/16223, you might be interested to participate!

I have migrated "Drupal + Services Module + Beer = BeerCloud on Android and iPhone" from http://drupal.org/node/659772 to http://drupal.org/node/1625240 Please review it. (hopefully, the comments from the original post will get migrated as well.)

I have migrated http://drupal.org/node/604206 and it's now available at http://drupal.org/node/1627288 Though for some reason all my html markup in the "Why these modules were chosen: " section is being rendered as plain text, even though they have the "wysiwyg" toolbar there that indicates that lists and links are allowed...
