Drupal.org Redesign One Step Closer

Drupal.org Team

The Drupal.org redesign team just released the results from their first major code sprint started in Portland, OR during OSCON in July.  This first release included a significant amount of infrastructure and under-the-hood implementation.  One of the visible portions of this sprint is the Solr search deployed by Achieve's CTO, Bill O'Connor (cveb10).  Achieve has been contributing code to Drupal.org redesign project since 2009. In 2010,  the Drupal Association made a strategic decision to hire five teams to complete the project. They approached Achieve to implement a critical aspect of the redesign, Solr search, to answer the big question: how to surface the data of nearly one million pages, almost one million users and 6800+ projects without compromising the site's performance.
