New Live Site
Dear All,
We release the new http://www.iniva.org site today, re-built from the
ground up.
I just went in to switch the DNS for www.iniva.org to a temporary
server while we fix up the new one (late next week). It will be a
couple of days before the new IP migrates through, so if you are
interested in a sneak preview, go to http://217.169.16.80 (temporary!!).
The new inIVA site is running from TomCat + Cocoon 2.1 + MySQL, in
HTML4 + CSS2 + WAI, no tables in the whole site!!! ;)
It is currently ≈ 2000 pages, it will grow to ≈ 10000 as the Library
relationships improve over the coming month.
I would like to thank all of you here for your help and support during
this project, I could not have done it without you ;)
It took ≈ 2 weeks of the project to convince the client to use Cocoon,
we must have saved at least that amount of time, by making that
decision, Cocoon has been superb!
I personally have about another month left on the project, thereafter I
am on the lookout for my next one ;)
Thanks again!
regards Jeremy

Thanks Bernhard ;)
Yep, I still need to do a pretty error page, and catch some typical
mistakes ....
I did not know about that one though ...
Unfortunately, I see quite a few exceptions from Lucene, especially the
random one I mentioned before, 'Bad file descriptor'.
Thanks for your feedback
regards Jeremy

As you probably realised, it is a clone of their old site (layout,
content and url space) so this stuff was already largely determined, I
did persuade them to drop the suffix though, thank goodness!

I agree, that would be a very nice thing to do, let's see if I can make
the time ... hope so ...
I made a very small start here: http://www.iniva.org/general/info_site

Should I name names? OOHH! =:-O
The client had spent a FORTUNE on Roxen Platform before they took me
on, what a mess!!! Even they admitted in the end they had 'mis-sold'
the product .... it is a very very very nasty piece of work! We had a
joke about it ... buying that product was like being mugged by a horde
of Vikings! ;) (No offence to other Scandinavians intended). On paper
it looked great, XML, XSLT etc ... in practise they had their own
proprietary implementations .... for instance they made xsl:variable(s)
Variable! They could not understand why the XSLT language was as it is
specified .... stateless .... they developed their own 'logic language'
for the platform, they called their first version v7.0, because it
sounded better than v0.7 (unbelievable but TRUE !!!!). But worst of
all, they had no COMMUNITY!

Of course Stefano, I would not take it any other way ;)

Uh, cool.
Finally a URL space built to last!!!!
One *nice* way to pay us back would be an article describing the
process, your experiences and suggestions for people that might want to
use Cocoon for similar projects (and believe me, there are tons of them
waiting to have more info on why/where/how to switch from their homemade
PHP solution to a nicer architecture that doesn't lock them in like a
nasty and expensive proprietary CMS)
But that's just a suggestion of course :-)
