Website project: Le pan
The site lepandevevey.org is a relatively simple one containing several "static" pages, a forum, news items and so.
However all members of the association are managed via the website: new users join via the website, the membership card is printed from the site (a special view with some custom php), profile fields are used to track membership payments.
Membership lists can be exported via to Csv (excel). One use for this is to send a paper letter to all members at the end of each year: a Word template is used to mailmerge with the CSV .
Before this site members were managed in Filemaker: a difficult enough challenge was importing the data of the 150 members from that tool. No way way found to import users pictures form Filemaker though, that had to be done manually.
The site is in French, which allowed me to realise how translation into French is incomplete, in core and contrib.
The site operates on shared hosting, with the boost module to improve performance (most access are anonymous).
Theme: stock theme (Zeropoint)
Programming: None custom modules needed. A few theme .tpl files and a script to update profile payment fields were the only programming needed. No core or standard modules were hacked.

Project time: Apr-May 2010, with more tuning in Nov'10. Probably at least 2 man weeks.
To do
- An easy to use newsletter module would ne nice (simplenews is not so easy I find: more now a view exports a list of email addresses, that a Content Editor pastes into his own Email program).
- The design/theme could be nicer
- The "realname" module was used to make reading username easier, but I regret this, since new users now have cryptic names, even though forename/family name and thus realname are fine.
