A few years back, when Drupal 6 was gearing up for showtime, one of the major working points was making the install profile system easier to navigate for developers. A Drupal install profile, also known as a distribution, allows you to specify an initial setup for Drupal, including both core and contributed modules, and setting up configurations for them.
The United States Bahá’í community numbers in the hundreds of thousands of members in almost 10,000 localities around the country, and the national office wanted a website to highlight local Bahá’í communities.
The new version of the directory of Baha'i communities in the United States has just been released, built on the Community Directory install profile on Drupal.org. Install profiles bundle together Drupal core with contributed modules and external libraries, enabling new sites to provide some functionality out of the box while still allowing the customization for which Drupal is famous.
I threw this site together because I needed a place to showcase the things I'm doing with Drupal. My portfolio shows a few projects that I've worked on and can share.
The Local Bahá'í Community Website Incubator is a Drupal installation profile geared toward providing local Baha'i communities with a no-hassle, cookie-cutter website. At present over 40 local community sites run on the platform.
