Case studies would be ideal for journalism students and would give them a taste of the kind of work that's done in trade magazines and PR firms. <br><br>They could take a look at a well-known organization that is using Drupal and answer some or all of the following questions: What is the business? What problems were they facing? What alternatives did they try or consider? What influenced their decision to use Drupal? Who championed Drupal within the organization? What was the selection process like? How did they plan for the implementation? Did they use an outside consultant? Did they have to migrate content? If so, what was that like? How long did it take? What did they learn and what would they do differently. Etc etc.<br>

<div style=""><div><br></div><div>One of my frequent <a href="http://addingunderstanding.com/2008/01/dreamweaver-vs-content-management-part-ii" target="_blank">rants</a> about the need for journalism schools to teach content management system resulted in a small class of upper division journalism students (8) in a class on content management systems. I'm signed up to help the instructor with the class and as a part of the class we want to find a way to have the students contribute to the community. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So I'm looking for ideas on how to have a small group of writers new to Drupal contribute to the project. I'd imagine these would be small (1-2 week) projects. I'm thinking small GHOP/DROP documentation style tasks</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there a list of or could folks recommend some high-value projects to have these folks work on?</div><br></div></blockquote></div><br>
