New portal goes online
Being in development (mostly contents part, not the system itself) for a several months, a kimono-company portal which uses the multi-site system I have developed, have finally went live today :)
The Kyo-roman portal is a portal system for a company which sells kimonos here in Japan - the headquarters and filials (and that's 17 of them!) each got own web-site, with blog and news/events periodicals, centralized articles approval solution and other perks like visual editor and video uploads. Latest news from filial sites are all gathered on the top page of the headquarters' site (hey, it's a portal site, after all :).
Currently, sites of company's filials are pretty minimalistic, but hopefully that will change in the future (it's up to users to add new content from now on).
The system uses Ruby on Rails as development system (specifically, version early version of my Rails-based multi-site system) and is deployed on CentOS-based hosting, Apache 2 + Mongrel cluster.
Well I know this might sound pretty boring (bah.. ANOTHER system online, so what?), but this is actually the first large-scale deployment of the system I've been working on for over a year, so well.. this is kinda exciting for me :)

Thanks :) Though it was not me who was made the design. Whats the most interesting thing is that it is pretty fast on a relatively slow hosting… That os comparing to wordpress-based sites on the same hosting plan. Pretty cool huh…
