Hi there,

Thanks for your patience. I looked through the case study, and while it's a great site, the content itself needs some work. This includes more detail, and restructuring the way the case study is written.

A lot of the content that's in the introductory section should be moved down to "Describe the Project." Here's what I'd like to see:

Introductory section:

  • Should be no more than two paragraphs
  • Should be a snapshot of the project. This is a very rough example: "[Site] is a site that does thing. It provides content-streaming services to [value] people in [number] countries, and is one of the largest video-streaming sites in [nation]. The client approached us about building a site that would do X, Y, and Z. Their previous site had become outdated because [reasons]."

Why Drupal:
Tell us why Drupal was the best solution for the site. I would prefer to see "Drupal integrates the thing with the stuff really well" to "we already work with Drupal all the time so we figured we'd use Drupal to build it." These case studies are meant to demonstrate the power and flexibility of Drupal as a CMS. That means having a fleshed-out "Why Drupal" section.

Describe the project:

  • This is where you can dive into the MPX server.
  • Tell us about what your goals were. What were you delivering? What features were you building?
  • Tell us about your timeline. How did you divide up the work?
  • Did you encounter any difficulties? Did you build any clever solutions?
  • What were the results? Do you have any data that shows improvement?

It's a good start, and I think this will be a great site to add to the showcase. Let's focus on building out the case study so it is as detailed as possible. Also, if you know of someone who can help you with some of the English grammar and editing, that would take a lot of time off the Featuring process as well.

Thanks, @leighc. Will update this ticket soon I get the case study ready.

Hi @leighc, changed according to your comment. Let me know if there are other things I need to fix. Thanks.

Hi, @wuinfo.

I looked at the updates made after Leigh's notes. There's still some work to do. Some of that is already in Leigh's comment. For example, the case study should discuss a timeline and data/metrics about the outcome of the project. As a reminder, these are the case study guidelines: https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/content/case-studies. And as an example of a case study that has been recently featured, check out https://www.drupal.org/node/2711827.

I can help with grammar and structure edits to the study as you work on it, if you'd like. And to help with that, I created a Google Doc for this study, because editing is probably easier that way than in the case study content type's fields. If you'd like to continue to work on this study with us, please open and request access to that document. I've already include some examples in it of edits or additions you could make.

Hi @bradleyfields, Thanks for spending time on Google Doc. I have done some modification on Google Doc according to your suggestions. Let me know if there is more thing I need to fix up. I am learning through the content style guide. Thanks for bringing it up.
