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>
