IIRS Solution Design

Please refer to the IIRS/ArchitectureOptions and principles therein.

Features overview

The IIRS will be an add-on service with its own Drupal 7 install. This install will provide the means to:

  1. Allow users to log in (to their accounts on the current D6 site), or register (with the new account synced back from D7 to D6).
  2. Add and moderate initiatives via a widget.
  3. Sync the moderated (accepted) initiatives back to TN.org D6 via a web service.
  4. Facilitate the translation of the Widget-specific UI by a distributed team of translators.
  5. ...

Drupal 7 site features

Distribution, Profile, Frameworks

  1. Based on Panopoly for an excellent editorial experience out of the box. There is a lot of momentum around Panopoly in the Drupal world.
  2. Theme based on Twitter's Bootstrap framework for a cross-browser, responsive, clean and deeply sexy starting point. Lots of Drupal themes work with this, but Radix is also gaining a lot of traction with distributions and works great with Panopoly.
  3. [Debut will provide as much base features as possible, to minimise custom code and get a fast start on key features.
  4. Will create a 'Transition National Hub' drupal install profile to allow this site to be built easily on the Transition Network server, and indeed on other interested parties systems.
