Revision of Infrastructure from Wed, 2010-08-25 22:33

Revisions allow you to track differences between multiple versions of your content, and revert back to older versions.

Drupal

EcologicalData.org is powered by the open source Drupal content management system. Some of our key contributed modules include Domain Access for managing our different subdomains, Content Locking to avoid edits being made by two people editing the same page at the same time, Flag to allow users to bookmark datasets, WYSIWYG to make editing pages simple and straightforward, along with Diff, Enforce Revlog and Talk for wiki functionality.

Hosting

We are happily hosted by A Small Orange, a small Atlanta based hosting company that focuses on providing a top quality customer experience. The combination of rapid, high quality customer service and a willingness to work happily with beginners makes them an excellent host for scientific endeavors on the web. You can save 15% on new hosting and help support EcologicalData.org by using this coupon (SAVEATASO) during signup.

Version Control Repository

Development of our Database Toolkits are done using a Subversion repository hosted by Beanstalk. If you want an easy way to start using version control, this is it.
