Let's Build a Site!


This website is a work in progress.  Once you join the site, you can participate in the buildout of this site.
The Wingflap Development Network is built using Drupal.  Most Drupal sites cater either to specific modules or generic discussions of the interaction of Drupal, modules, and theming in a generic context.
The Wingflap Development Network is focused on specific portal types.  This particular site is modeled after the once-famous MaxWebPortal; an ASP Portal developed around 2000.  It saw two branches after it's untimely demise.  Skyportal and MWPX were the offshoots.  Both are gone today.  This portal pays homage to these once-great ASP portals.

The Wingflap Development Network is a collaboration among web developers, site themers, and designers to use and assess portal technologies that are available independent and agnostic of platform (even though this site is built with Drupal).

With the flood of tablets hitting the market and, in my mind, no defined market for the devices, I'm curious who is using what.

-----------------------------------------------------------

 The Wingflap Development Network is meant to be a collaboration among developers and site designers and web masters to discuss portals. In other words, we are a portal about portals.

This site is evolving on a daily basis to provide information and feedback to those interested in running a web portal.

Eventually, groups will be established to discuss various portal technologies as well as web environments. Once these are established, the Wingflap Development Network will become a valuable resource to anyone trying to create their own portal.

There are many portal technologies available for use. This particular site is created in Drupal because it suited the needs of the site. The focus of this site is 'open' portal frameworks. These include the following:

  • Drupal
  • Joomla
  • DotNetNuke
  • Skyportal

If there are any other frameworks that suit your fancy, please be sure to let us know and we'll create a section for you.
