CINDUG members,
The goal of this project is to have CINDUG assist in updating this site by better using CCK and VIEWS. The site is upgrading from Drupal 5 to 6. Here's the current site's URL-
http://oceanicsociety.org
Funding will come in to CINDUG for doing this work. The plan is for CINDUG to use this funding to provide food and drink during the code-sprints which will be planned and to hold on to remaining funding for CINDUG events in the future. These code-sprints are to be planned gatherings of CINDUG members where we'll set up more advanced members to show and assist with coding of the Content Types listed below. Before this occurs we'll discuss the details of these Content Types and then create a master punch list of items to code at the sprints.
There is a lot of low hanging fruit here. As you'll see in the listing of Content Types in use this is a first-attempt-at-Drupal site which barely harnessed the power of the CMS.
This is a list of content types currently used, and those that we need.
Please add your notes and comments, questions. The feedback and input of the group will move this along. Once we get this thought through and worked out to a punch list we'll plan a code sprint complete with food and drinks.
I will be taking on the lead of this project and welcome any feedback, suggestions and assistance. I will be pushing to get folks on-board this project so please send in your notice of interest and your better times of availability to gather at a code-sprint. We are looking for a suitable location to gather, share a wifi and code. Please pass along suggestions.
