Project Aarush Website Status / In Development

[Aditya Teja Josyula]

Hello all!

The Aarush website is up and running...ready for us to get our final modules configured in there.

www.project-aarush.com 

A lot of changes are still going to be needed - I've set the website up with the base templates. So please ignore the weird animal images scrolling....we're going to change all that :) 

Everyone who's interested in contributing to the construction of the website....please use the login link in the main menu and create a new account for yourself. 

Most of the work done so far is related to the back-end modules and their configuration. Next steps would involve locating the right modules for us to activate the features we need on the website. 

Module Name	Use
Pathauto	automatically generates URLs/paths
Google Analytics	Gives us data on who's usingthe website and stats around that
WYSIWIG	Content Editing, base module
Views	Allows us to change what website elements look like
CTOOLS	Makes admin tasks pretty easy - bunch of APIs
XMLSitemap	Search engine optimization
Backup & Migrate	Backup and migrate…as the name suggests :)
Global Redirect	If any page isn't working….displays an error message
Media	Upload Videos!
DisplaySuite	Gives us a lot of control over how most of the elements look like
Webforms	Allows us to create forms for users
CAPTCHA	security
reCAPTCHA	better security
emfield	embedding video files and media
Chart	Ability to display statistical charts/graphs etc
FontYourFace	Type in different fonts (including Indian scripts!)
SocialMedia	Easy connections to Facebook/Twitter accounts
CKEditor	Best content editor I could find
IMCE	Alllows image uploads directly into content

As you all know...we're taking a 2 step approach....the current site automatically goes to the 'Stage' version. Once we've finalized the stage features....we'll be releasing it to 'Production'. 

Thank you all for the wonderful work so far in creating the design specs.....we're almost there! 

Regards
