Beta test the new Gallery website!

Posted on Monday, September 05, 2005 @ 06:57:27 CDT
Please note that this announcement is for the main Gallery site, not for NukedGallery.

In preparation for the upcoming Gallery 2 release, we've been secretly working away on a brand new website! The new site is in beta until September 9th while we shake out any kinks in it. We will be periodically refreshing it with the latest data from the live site. Read more for more information about the new site and how you can help us to test it.

About the new site

The first thing that you'll notice is that it looks totally different! The new theme is provided by Trae McCombs, founder of both themes.org and linux.com. He created a theme with intuitive site navigation that works with the colors of our new logo and provides a light and welcoming feeling to new users.

Under the covers, you may notice that we've moved from the Postnuke content management system over to Drupal -- but we've still got all the old data. The data migration has has been a long and difficult process. It was especially difficult to convert over all our different forum data from phpBB2, the wiki, our paid support data, and more. This conversion was performed by was performed by Kitt Hodsden over the span of several months. She created a push-button script for us that migrates our data which will let us continually refresh the new site during our beta test period to keep it up to date.

When we're done with the beta, the new site will replace this one and will become the new gallery.menalto.com. We're using the gallery2.org domain only as a testbed.

What you can do to help us:

You should visit the new site and explore it. Your account should work there. Please post new stuff in the forums, click all the links, explore your account settings, etc. Do all the stuff you'd normally do if you were using this site! Nothing you do will be permanent; We'll wipe and refresh it from our live data on a semi-daily basis.

If you find things wrong with the new site, please feel free to leave comments on this post and let us know. Or you can update the issues page on the Gallery Codex with anything you find.

We hope you like what you see!
