Twinning

Even if they're fans of proprietary solutions the Romanian ministry of it got themselves a taste of Drupal. So congratulations to me and Hype for managing to do that. :)

Twinning is a framework for European schools to collaborate on the Internet with partner schools from Romania.
You can find over 400 schools from different Romanian regions and with different backgrounds that are interested in cooperating with colleagues from other European countries.

The website was built with Drupal 5 on a LAMP stack. It also makes use of the Solr search server, memcached and ffmpeg.

It features:
- romanian and english content (localizer)
- per user image galleries (a modified version of acidfree)
- per user video galleries (a modified version of op_video)
- quota management
- searching and faceted browsing (custom module which interacts with Solr)
- a forum based on smf (integrated using the smfforum module)
