mrconnerton worked over the winter to give us a new usecod website that was more inline with modern standards. The test site can be found here: http://usecoddev.prod.acquia-sites.com/

Current stakeholders for this site: ezra-g, japerry, Dyannenova, mrconnerton

The plan is to get the site migrated to usecod.com, because the old site is out of date and is throwing php errors, amongst other issues.

Ezra would like to see the case studies migrated from the old site, which has not been done yet. Important to note that the old site is difficult to use as an admin due to timeout issues.

DyanneNova suggested we look at updating the site to Drupal 8. Now that the betas are getting more stable, and the site is fairly small, this might be a good example site to get our feet wet with D8. It would require converting the theme, which shouldn't be too difficult.

Regarding case studies, another suggestion out of the community leadership summit at DrupalCon LA, was to migrate them to Drupal.org. (https://www.drupal.org/case-studies). With the new RestWS api, we can query for all sites using cod or cod_support and bring them down to the usecod site locally. This would allow the d8 site to be basically anonymous only, and even if we stick with d7, would reduce the security issues of having user accounts on the site.

This issue is mainly to keep track of things that have been said between emails, other issue tickets, and in-person conversation. Hopefully this page can help everyone converse ideas and come to some decisions based on what has been proposed above.

Having the case studies on Drupal.org would be a win-win - we get more quality content on Drupal.org, and this removes the need for creating accounts and/or spam management on UseCOD.com.

I'd like to have a few more recent case studies written before we put the case studies section up on the site. I think for now we should be encouraging people to post their case studies on drupal.org so we can pull them from there later.
