Dear All,Uh, cool.
We release the new http://www.iniva.org site today, re-built from the ground up.
I just went in to switch the DNS for www.iniva.org to a temporary server while we fix up the new one (late next week). It will be a couple of days before the new IP migrates through, so if you are interested in a sneak preview, go to http://217.169.16.80 (temporary!!).
The new inIVA site is running from TomCat + Cocoon 2.1 + MySQL, in HTML4 + CSS2 + WAI, no tables in the whole site!!! ;)
It is currently ≈ 2000 pages, it will grow to ≈ 10000 as the Library relationships improve over the coming month.
I would like to thank all of you here for your help and support during this project, I could not have done it without you ;)
It took ≈ 2 weeks of the project to convince the client to use Cocoon, we must have saved at least that amount of time, by making that decision, Cocoon has been superb!
I personally have about another month left on the project, thereafter I am on the lookout for my next one ;)
Finally a URL space built to last!!!!
One *nice* way to pay us back would be an article describing the process, your experiences and suggestions for people that might want to use Cocoon for similar projects (and believe me, there are tons of them waiting to have more info on why/where/how to switch from their homemade PHP solution to a nicer architecture that doesn't lock them in like a nasty and expensive proprietary CMS)
But that's just a suggestion of course :-)
