<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>The current Case Studies section on Drupal.org (<a href="http://drupal.org/cases">http://drupal.org/cases</a>) is incredibly sad, lacks images of any kind whatsoever, and is filled with outdated information (and even some sites that are no longer Drupal sites—oops!)</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Create a dedicated content type for case studies, plus a view to show them off, and wrap it into a feature.</p>
<h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
<p>Basic functionality for case studies is ready.<br>
For next steps check initiative page: <a href="http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupalorg-content">http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupalorg-content</a></p>
<h3 id="summary-ui-changes">User interface changes</h3>
<p>- New content type "Case study", with several fields (<a href="https://www.drupal.org<br"></a>
"<a href="http://drupal.org/files/Joe">http://drupal.org/files/Joe</a>'s%20Ball%20Bearings%20%7C%20drupal.org_1328471604013.png">screenshot of form / <a href="http://drupal.org/files/Node%20Joe's%20Ball%20Bearings%20%7C%20drupal.org_1328471638034.png">screenshot of display</a>)<br>
- New view displaying case studies in teaser mode, filterable by sector: <a href="http://drupal.org/files/Drupal%20Case%20Studies%20%7C%20drupal.org_1328471561382.png">http://drupal.org/files/Drupal%20Case%20Studies%20%7C%20drupal.org_1328471561382.png</a><br>
- New block to encourage creation of new case studies<br>

<p>This section of the redesign wasn't implemented in the MVP. An overview of the other issues related to case studies can be found at <a href="http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupalorg-content">http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupalorg-content</a></p>
<p>1. Build case study (this issue)<br>
- Leader image(s) follow ideal upload strategy researched for project nodes<br>
- Add taxonomy like <a href="http://drupal.org/cases">http://drupal.org/cases</a><br>
- references to Drupal shops and people that worked on the site, integrated with <a href="http://drupal.org/marketplace">http://drupal.org/marketplace</a>.</p>
<p>2. Make the case study page view (this issue)<br>
- Keep it basic, like Sites Made with Drupal block on home page, repeated 3x per row, a few rows per page</p>
<p>3. Make it into a feature</p>
<p>TODO after this is done<br>
Create issue: Replace links on homepage with links to the new case study content<br>
Create issue: Edit showcase forum as needed, direct people to case study content</p>
<p>Additional things to think about:<br>
- Break up the layout a bit with different sizes?<br>
- Make room for ads?<br>
- More complex featuring than simply 'promote to front page'?</p>
