Site Credits

Credit where credit is due

First off, this website was made possible in part by the very generous funders of Transforma Projects.

Web site design and implementation was done by Transforma Projects with the technical aid of C4 Tech & Design and graphic design from Whence: The Studio.

This website was built leveraging the work of a lot of other generous and talented programmers and designers. Below are some such elements that made their way into this website in some fashion.

This website includes a customized version of the Drupal Content Management System and the following modules, among others:

• Organic Groups
• Content Construction Kit (CCK)
• Image and imagecache
• Views
• Forward

Naturally, the whole shebang is running on Linux with an Apache web server, MySQL, and PHP.

Some of the Javascripting flourishes make use of the jQuery framework and the customized implementations of the following plugins:

• jqModal and Drag'n'Resize
• Tabs
• jquery.charcounter.js

New Orleans neighborhood and district references were primarily the maps from Greater New Orleans Community Data Center (GNOCDC), which is part of Nonprofit Knowledge Works:

• NOLA Neighborhood boundries [pdf]
• NOLA District boundries [pdf]

We also referred to district and neighborhood information on these sites, in particular:

• New Orleans Neighborhood Rebuilding Plan
• The Unified New Orleans Plan
• Wikipedia articles on New Orleans neighborhoods
