<p>The Communication Initiative (CI) has been working in the field of Communication For Development for the last decade. In 2006, we embarked on a redesign with the following imperatives:</p>
<ul>
<li>Maintain our list of 35,000 documents; regional e-magasines; 100,000 pieces of supporting information (author information; bibliographic sources; etc.)
<li>Organizing data by taxonomy to allow elaborate relationships between data and categorization
<li>Multiple content-types to accommodate different formats of online documents
<li>Granular control of user permissions
<li>Custom caching techniques to allow a lot of data to be presented while keeping server load and page load within acceptable boundaries
<li>An innately multi-lingual site
</ul>
<p>The site features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for 73,000 registered users.
<li>1.8 million user sessions per year.
<li>Theming based on Taxonomy
<li>Top lists driven by taxonomy
<li>User registration enhanced with CiviCRM
<li>Integration with Daylife news service.
<li>Integration with the phpBB forum application.
<li>An import of our pre-existing legacy data.
</ul>
