1. Executive summary This report describes the structure and current content of the i-treasures Web site www.i-treasures.eu, hosted by ITI-CERTH. The domain www.i-treasures.eu was reserved by ITI-CERTH. The site was created using the Drupal Content Management System (CMS), which allows building Web sites and powerful online applications. Drupal is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone [1]. The last version currently available by Drupal is used, namely version 7.20 for the construction of the Web site. Other updates and enhancements of the site are planned in the future. The site contains a public and a private part that are briefly outlined in the following pages. Many Drupal modules and plug-ins have been installed. In addition, a custom page was developed, using PHP, to display the members of the i-treasures mailing lists. All the pages contain the same banner with the i-treasures logo and menus, so that visitors can easily navigate in the website. Filename: D8.1 Web_site_v2.doc Page 5 of 27
