UPPNEX is a new initiative at Uppsala University, (lead by it's High Performance computing center SNIC-UPPMAX), to provide storage and high performance data analysis resources to the vibrant Next Generation Sequencing community in the Stockholm/Uppsala region and Sweden as a whole (some of the many recent projects was recently published in Nature).
This initiative is thought as a resource for wet-lab researchers with limited computer experience, and so it was important to provide with a one-stop place were these users can go to find documentation, information and contact to support staff. A website needed to be built.
Jonas Hagberg, system expert at UPPMAX and lead of the UPPNEX project, built up the site, created the current theme as a modification from the sky theme, and created the overall structure. Frustrated with the Plone CMS for the UPPMAX website, the choice of Drupal was natural. I came in at the later stage of the project to create some graphics, the logo (in close collaboration with Jonas) and some additional configuration.
Government bodies and companies face the challenge of creating websites that are optimally accessible to people as well as browsers and search engines. There are internationally recognized agreements for creating accessible websites like WCAG. The Dutch government has assembled these international standards in a quality model called the Web Guidelines. This quality model mandates significantly better websites that are made for all people.
Before the end of 2010, all Dutch governmental websites must comply with this set of guidelines. The symbol on the left is the certificate displayed by sites that validate to all 125 guidelines. Recently, the ICTU, an institution founded by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations that helps authorities to improve their ICT performance, decided to relaunch the Web Guidelines website using Drupal. The information on the new site (www.webrichtlijnen.nl / www.webguidelines.nl) is tailored to specific target audiences and the phases of an implementation. A developer or editor can now view the guidelines that are most relevant to him or her. The new site features case studies, best practices and success stories. It also offers a tool that can automatically check if a website conforms to 47 of the 125 guidelines.
I'm building a Movie DB project where user type the movie name and the site would bring information from every kind of different source (IMDB,Flixster,Netflix,Wikipedia,etc...) then the site would summarize it and display it to the user.
The search is already working; Everytime the user type a movie name, the script assumes it's certain movie then check the information on each source and saves it in the DB.
Realized I should post and get involved with the community more, instead of just the odd post of help/tips on bug reports. I figured I would show you a few of my websites that I have done with Drupal over the past year.
