Publications
One of the main advantages of an interactive site like complexity-research.org is that it can present researchers, research projects and publication in the correct context. Currently the publication list on this site is static. Someone has entered a long list and that was it.
Access control
Access control defines who can see, edit and manage a page. Since this web site is still in development we have to distinguish between the access control we want and the access control we have so far.
URLs and aliases
Complexity-research.org makes use of the an open source content management software: http://www.drupal.org. This software creates multiple access paths for each contribution, via the menu structure and via an URL.
Content types
There are five types of content you can add to the site:
Front page
The front page of this site is supposed to be dynamic. The idea is to show a recent list of contributed research pages, news items and events. Each item in the list has a title and a short teaser (about 5-10 lines). If a teaser interests the reader he or she can click through to read the entire post.

Research projects
There are two key element to projects on this site: groups and books. Groups contain users and books contain web pages. Ultimatelly a project should consist of one group of users and one books. At the moment however a book is not fully integrated with the project. As a consequence you as the contributer have to do a couple of steps manually.
