Row Eleven Wine Co. – Multi-domain E-Commerce Site |
|
 Row Eleven Wine Company in Marin County, CA came to ISL Consulting determined to create an online store that reflected the many sides of this unique specialty wine producer. It had to both serve the company's immediate objective to sell more wine online and be able to incorporate a number of new features in the coming years.
Requirements
Since the company had a number of specialty wines, at least three separate branding sites were needed, run by the same administrators.
The firm’s founder, Richard de los Reyes, a charismatic winemaker, needed his own blog to share his thoughts and deep knowledge of Napa Valley vintner history.
A single e-commerce shopping cart was needed to integrate products across all brands. Finally, the platform needed to be able to incorporate the first of a growing list of community features, and be expandable in the future to service the needs of the firm’s many distributors and restaurants in the coming years.
ISL recommended Drupal because it would allow, with a little training, largely non-technical managers to run the website. The registration system could allow Row Eleven to begin building relationships with its community of customers and re-sellers.

Drupal.org is upgraded to Drupal 6 |
|
Thanks to the work of numerous people through free time contributions, our upgrade sprint in Cambridge, MA, and several testing and bugfixing hours committed by the community, today we were finally ready to make the jump and upgrade drupal.org to Drupal 6. Our site runs several interesting modules, many of which receive little love outside our infrastructure, plus we are running on multiple database servers and webservers with several other helper components in the backend. So while we crafted a fine plan for the upgrade, it took a few more hours then originally planned.

The Trinidad Guardian now using Drupal - case study of a newspaper website |
|
The Trinidad Guardian, one of 3 popular newspapers in Trinidad, re-launched their website on New Years Day 2009 using Drupal 5. The site has a simple design done by their in-house graphics designer Ms. Maxie Navarro. The Drupal developer behind it, Shivan Jaikaran, would like to share his techniques as a tech case study.
Why was Drupal chosen?
The old site was a plain html site and did not provide much (if any) flexibility in terms of multiple updates, RSS, scheduled workflow or fostering a community website with features such as comments. Drupal was decided upon internally as the CMS of choice to overcome such drawbacks. It was imperative that the editors be allowed to update the site simultaneously, remotely and without much programming skills....features that were not possible with the old site.

Scheduled downtime: Wednesday February 18th, 2009 - 6:00pm-10:00pm UTC |
|
The time has come. We are going to turn off some services on drupal.org on Wednesday February 18th, 2009 from 6:00pm to 10:00pm UTC (what time is this in your city?) to perform the upgrade of the live site from our current Drupal 5 version to Drupal 6. The downtime is important to make sure that we have all data intact for the upgrade, and new data is not added to the site while a copy of the site is being upgraded. We scheduled a four hour downtime window, so that we can make sure that everything is working properly before we launch the newly upgraded site.
The main drupal.org site and the CVS repositories are affected by the downtime. You will not be able to view any pages on the main drupal.org site, and will not be able to commit changes into CVS while the upgrade is running. You will however be able to checkout from CVS, use the groups site, the API reference, the mailing lists, and so on. Thank you for your patience.
