Description

We're assessing the feasibility of integrating BOINC's web features with Drupal (an excellent and actively-developed framework for social web sites). Wherever possible, BOINC features would be replaced by their Drupal counterparts (forums, profiles, etc.).

The intended effects of this are:

  • To make it easier for projects to have good-looking, distinctive web sites.
  • To make it easier for projects to add content to their sites.
  • To eliminate most of BOINC's web code (and thus not have to maintain it anymore, which is time-consuming and orthogonal to the purpose of doing distributed computing).

This is is at least 6 months off, and we'll provide a migration path so projects don't have to switch to Drupal right away.
