Yes, that's a great example. It's a bit more techie than some others,
but that's not bad at all. It's well written and talks about the site
and Drupal -- great!

I should probably write up some more extensive guidelines, but really
I've just been happy when I do get content. A list of all contrib
modules used (Even if just pasted in the end), with ideally a one
liner about why / how used is always valuable.

Please do create it as a handbook page and cut/paste in -- feel free
to attribute your web page as the original source document.

Then, a short "announce" post in the Drupal showcase forum pointing to
the site AND the case study, and we can promote that to the front
page.

Make sense? Anyone else have some they'd like to share?
