IWPR Intranet

After completing the IWPR public website, we turned our attention to developing a private site that could form a useful virtual office for the distributed team of writers, trainers and researchers who work for the organisation. The private workspace was built using Drupal, and includes a calendar and special file management system – developed specifically for this project, but now available to all Drupal-driven sites. The file store area allows for workers’ local files to be organised and shared in the folders of the Intranet using a ‘drag & drop’ method.
