Introduction

The Website Project bases its birth on the renewal of the former Morfeo Community Website. This blog aims to disseminate the newest functionalities provided by the Morfeo Website as well as to handle a set of guides which show how to take advantage of those capabilities and how to create a new website for a project recently allocated in the community.
The new design of the Morfeo Website solves most of the functionality limitations (user rights, edition easiness, management independency, multilingualism, etc.)observed in the former website. This new design allows the Morfeo Website both to show the dynamism of the Morfeo Community and to encourage the developers, partners, etc. to take part on it.
So as to follow these guidelines, the Morfeo Website has turned into a weblog set which disseminate the continuous evolution of the community and its projects. This weblog “Planet” has made possible a project management independence so that the people responsible for the project keep their blog alive as well as a spread of the project information over the whole Website.
Thus, the new Website architecture looks as follows:

Morfeo’s blog has both kinds of children, chapters and projects. Chapters are bound to group projects by topic as well as to offer some room where those projects can disseminate some interesting issues which have something to do with the common topic.

Wordpress v2.2 has been used in order to face this task. We have chosen this tool because of its wide management of user rights, its large number of plugins, its continuous evolution and its great acceptance among Web users.

Wordpress allows managing a blog with several categories and a group of static contents. That is, contents that neither evolve nor change its location in the course of time (as posts do). Each project (and chapter) has its own blog, so it is necessary to maintain a Wordpress installation per project. Moreover, these weblogs are interconnected through RSS aggregators which allow content syndication from a project to a chapter and vice versa.
