The Creating Communities Web site has been created for the Denver Public Library using Drupal and extended by the Zen theme engine, Apache Solr Search Integration and the eXtensible Catalog (XC) Drupal Toolkit.
Recently, Drupal has been strongly embraced at the Denver Public Library becoming the official CMS of choice. Other Colorado Libraries are also making serious commitments to Drupal because of its flexibility, support for XML, taxonomy, low cost of ownership and a great community that provides many modules that support library ambitions with actual working code.
The Western History & Genealogy Department, in partnership with the City of Denver, History Colorado, Auraria Library, and University of Denver Penrose Library has brought together a number of historic resources and digitized archival materials. The project is funded by a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
We encourage you all to explore the site and learn more about the history of Denver.
Please take a moment to visit http://www.westiefan.com/ A west highland terrier Social Network I have created by Drupal.
This is the idea of business side(service), e.g., rescue, pet store, vet clinic, event, etc.) meets Westie owners(or just Westie lovers). Service and Westie are main content type available to the users, and data will be presented by map for anyone can search using filters. I would appreciate for any feedback, comment, suggestion before I promote the site.
The idea that this site would consist of a curated experience was a very important one to us during the concept and design phase - the two national entities that we (CPBN) are associated with are PBS and NPR; two brands that have a long history and reputation for providing such content curation. We didn't want to simply turn this into a river-of-news-type site, and we recognized that neither our internal staff's capacity, nor the capacity of the non-profit groups we would be working with, would be able to add any meaningful value on this front with the for-profit local news agencies already working hard in this area, and auto-aggregated services like news.google.com providing incredibly useful resources to people looking for up-to-the-minute (breaking news) information.
Instead, we chose to leverage the longer-form coverage and focus on more in depth analysis that we consider a core competency, rather than the sort of coverage typically achieved within the breaking-news context.
Finally my new site is "finished": http://uusitupa.org. The base installation is Acquia Drupal. Drupal was an obvious choice, because of it's flexibility and great amount of contributed modules available.
The site has been done by using contributed modules from drupal.org, no custom modules were needed. Theme is made entirely by me.
