Hi there,
(Note: I have already written a similar post a few months ago; but having now a small webpage as something to start from, I have now a much clearer idea of my needs)
I am a PhD student, and as such, I started a (really small) webpage to put some stuff related to my research. The goal of the webpage is:
- to give some information on my research
- to have some pages about various scientific softwares I am writing:
- publish a serie of documents about science, written originally in latex, exported in mathML and pdf.
I don't know much about web development, nor do I want to spend time on it. Right now, this is developed manually (see http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/ for the present state): I edit the pages locally on my workstation, the files are under a source control system, and updated via rsync to the web server of my lab. This is far from optimal for various reasons, and I was thinking about using drupal for the following tasks/reasons:
- I am handling links/categorization by hand. This is awkward for obvious reasons; I think any CMS can handle this for me in various way. It looks like the taxonomy system is an elegant solution for this problem, though.
- When I update the webpage for something related to content, I would like a link to appear on a news column (also handled by hand now)
- Can I quickly make a theme similar to the existing webpage ?
