Promote EIT Avionics to Featured

Hi there,

The introduction is great. The rest of the case study feels very sparse. This is your time to shine: tell us all about what you did, how you did it, and what the results were. What were the client's unique needs? Did you encounter any problems or challenges, especially since Drupal 8 is so new? We're looking for stories about amazing, beautiful, or innovative Drupal websites. Right now we get a lot about the client and why you chose Drupal from a logic standpoint, but not from a technological one.

Let me know if you have questions.

Cheers,
Leigh

Hi Casper,

It still feels very much like an overview. You talk about the website in a pretty general sense, but I'd really like to see more technical detail. For promotion to featured, this case study will need to get very specific about technical challenges and how you addressed them.

The way I see it, you can:

• Discuss what it was like building with Drupal 8 for the first time. Go into specifics. Explain how you did things from a technical standpoint. Were there areas of challenge? Did you have to migrate any content, and if so, how did that process go? Did you use any libraries? Did you take advantage of some of Drupal 8's great new features, like the multilingual functionality, the mobile-first design, and so on?
• Tell us about the construction of the website. What technical problems did you come across? This includes any weird stuff with hosting, building places on the back end where you can expand the site in the future, making modifications to the admin interface, and so on.
• Break down how you met each of the client's needs, step-by-step. The best way to do is is through a Problem, Solution, Result formula where you tell us what the problem was ("they wanted a special content type for cat pictures"), technical information on how you solved the problem ("we built them a special content type and used the Glowing Unicorn module to automagically fill their website with the best cat GIFs collected with the Glowing Unicorn's GIF-finding algorithm") and the result on how well your solution has performed ("cat pictures are now up 9000% on this site.") I just promoted a case study to featured (Forest Park Map) that really lays this out in a great way, if you need inspiration.

Good luck! I know this is a bit of a daunting process but ultimately, remember that we want people to walk away from these case studies with more knowledge than they had at the start, and we want to inspire people with the power of Drupal.

Hi Casper,

Wow, that's a lot of content! Thank you for going into so much detail -- this is exactly what I was looking for. I made a few changes to the formatting of the new content you included so that it would be slightly more readable. If you could embed some mobile screenshots in the body text to break it up just a bit, that would be great (but it's not necessary).

+1 from me. Next step: get a community +1 so we can promote.

Cheers,
Leigh

Hi Casper,

Thanks for your patience! I've been out for the holidays, so I'm sorry I wasn't able to get to this sooner.

Regarding your revisions, they are absolute perfection. Really well done. +1 from me. Now we just need one from the community and you'll be promoted to Featured.

Thanks for all your work on this.

Cheers,
Leigh

Casper --

As someone at an organization that's just starting to dip our toes into the Drupal 8 waters, I really appreciate the detail on the challenges you ran into. I genuinely think this sort of information helps others.

Not sure if this is sufficient to help get this promoted, but +1 from me.

Hi Casper,

I'll promote it to the front page at the start of the week. Sound good?

Cheers,
Leigh

I've promoted the case study to Featured. Congratulations & great work. It'll appear on the front page of Drupal.org within the next day or so.

Best,
Leigh
