We launched the on-line newspaper archive for ABC.es!

ABC.es has trusted PAGINAR.NET to carry out the design for the newly launched on-line newspaper archive.

The ABC's digital newspaper archive includes more than five million documents that reviews the main developments since 1891, and now transformed into history. The newspaper archive service, whose design has involved the Interactive Communications Unit of PAGINAR.NET and ABC.es team is available to all public for free at http://hemeroteca.abc.es.

This new tool offers to the public over 100 years of journalistic documents of Spain for free.

PAGINAR.NET has worked in many aspects of the website design including usability issues, information architecture, design and layout, graphical interface and web standards.

"The result is a simple and clear interface, aligned with the image of the newspaper, which provides users access to more than 100 years of history through ABC's publications," says PAGINAR.NET‘s general manager for Europe, Luciano Schlaen.

The scanned documentary database of the archive has five million pages and is the result of many months of hard work.

This new digital tool is a pioneering initiative, allowing journalists, users, historians and other professionals to learn and explore more than 100 years of history.

The White House website is now running on Drupal!

Yesterday, the new media team at the White House announced via the Associated Press that whitehouse.gov is now running on Drupal, the open source content management system used by PAGINAR.NET in its websites and specially in "Collaborative Platform", the PAGINAR.NET solution for government portals in Spain and Argentina.

Particularly telling are the reasons that the White House made the switch. According to the AP article:

“White House officials described the change as similar to rebuilding the foundation of a building without changing the street-level appearance of the facade. It was expected to make the White House site more secure - and the same could be true for other administration sites in the future....

Having the public write code may seem like a security risk, but it's just the opposite, experts inside and outside the government argued. Because programmers collaborate to find errors or opportunities to exploit Web code, the final product is therefore more secure.”

More than just security, though, the White House saw the opportunity to increase their flexibility. Drupal has a huge library of user-contributed modules that will provide functionality the White House can use to expand its social media capabilities, with everything from super-scalable live chats to multi-lingual support.

A big IT deployment like this requires especial considerations in terms of infrastructure in order to attend a high volume of visitors and activity. In order to fulfill this need the website uses Akamai as CDN (Content Delivery Network), the same solution that PAGINAR.NET uses for high-end Drupal deployments.
