Today, the switch was flipped. Popular Science is now officially launched as a Drupal site. Three weeks ago, I wrote a bit about the process the team went through to develop the site and today it launched with imported content from Vignette 7 (a proprietary CMS) and Typepad. It involved a huge effort on the part of pingVision and the Popular Science team and was a model for collaborations between developers and clients.

I am extremely happy and proud of the work that was done from the planning, and annotated wireframes, to creation of user stories and tasks, to development, testing and finally the launch.

DNS appears to still be a little wonky, particularly for those on Comcast. Hopefully it will resolve itself overnight. If you visit and see a largely white site, you are seeing the new Drupal version.

Tonight I raise a beer to everyone that was involved. It was an awesome experience. Thanks!
