All,
The existing site (http://www.ponniyinselvan.in) is forum based which doesn’t fit well with all type of contents since it is basically for members to post messages, doesn’t play well with articles, pages, etc.,
I have been working on a new site which is in beta which is Drupal (http://www.drupal.org) based
Highlights
- Bilingual – Both Tamil and English interface, the articles are not yet translated (Vijay would be helping me on this, volunteers are welcome)
- Tagging – allows searching/viewing related articles
- Ponniyin Selvan Novel as book (both tamil and english version from Project Madurai) – http://beta.ponniyinselvan.in/ta/book/kalki/ponniyin-selvan.html
- Allow to post comments like blogs
- Allow me to post announcements as blog posts
- Allows caching and should be faster
Things todo
- Integrating yahoo group messages (Tag the messages to make search easier, tag all tamil sangam related messages with “Tamil Sangam” for easier searach)
- Translate english articles to Tamil
- Add more articles/content from existing yahoo group messages/threads
Members please go through site and provide your feedback to improve the site by posting a comment to this blog post.
Regards
Thiru
