Packaging Options

Initially, conStruct may be obtained as:

  • A downloadable set of software from multiple sites, that you install yourself:
    • Drupal and its core modules
    • Selected contributed modules essential to the conStruct distro
    • The structWSF Web services framework
    • The Virtuoso structured data (RDF) datastore
    • The Solr full-text, faceted search engine
    • The possible additions of structDisplay and structOntology modules.
  • And, a Download, Install and Configure guide to all of these components.

Next, as the code stablizes to a production release, we will offer conStruct as:

  • An Amazon EC2 AMI image that can be installed with a single click.

Then, we plan a complete distribution ("distro") of conStruct SCS that includes:

  • Drupal, plus all necessary modules, third-party components and configurations.

And, lastly, we hope to see:

  • Multiple CMS versions (e.g., Joomla, WordPress, ODS, Ruby on Rails, Django, etc).
