Drupal conversion

We plan to integrate BOINC's web features with Drupal. BOINC features that have Drupal equivalents will be eliminated, and we'll use Drupal instead. This includes:

  • forums
  • profiles
  • private messages
  • friend lists

Other BOINC web features will be packaged as a Drupal "module". These include:

  • the BOINC notion of account and login (based on email address and password)
  • host features (view, merge)
  • team features
  • display of BOINC-specific user info (e.g., credit, other projects)
  • jobs and credit
  • computing preferences

BOINC's web RPCs will continue to exist as they are now.

If you are familiar with the internals of Drupal, you are welcome to contribute to this conversion effort.
