This virtual space is a porting of De Legione Romana site to Drupal, a powerful and stable content management system. Originally I created it using Cutenews, an easy-to-use news management system that uses flat files to store its database. Ten years ago it was an early and simple CMS, but it was abandoned and today it is obsolete and easily spam-attackable.
I created this site to represent and tell the cultural growth of a reenactment group in Villadose city, in which I have been legionary and webmaster for some time. In 2004 I left the association, letting active the Web space and the possibility of keeping it up-to-date ...
People easily forget a neglected site, especially in the world of internet, besides I did not like the idea of having to cancel the documentation and the competence I have acquired and many times never published.
So in 2005 I decided to make to revive the web site with a name more corresponding to the new purposes, keeping the theme of the Roman experimentation, above all military, with particular regard to I Italica, for this I have kept the appearance original. At this moment is still on-line here.
After some years of inactivity, in summer 2012 I have had the opportunity to update it and to add it a new CMS: Drupal. Using this content management system I wish to complete the pubblication of my reports without any limitation and to avoid the switch off of the comments and forum due spam.
In order to get these purposes and to try to protect the works of whom will want to actively participate in its growth, I have chosen to adopt one of the licenses promoted from Creative Commons that allows in the specific case to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work, to the only condition to recognize the contribution of the native author. |
Do you want to contribute to the growth of this site? You can do it in a lot of ways: underlining possible errors, participating to the forum, commenting the articles, but above all sharing your experiences, investigations and reconstructions.
These are some welcome forms:
But the way of cooperation more appreciated is the sharing of own knowledge and experience, becoming an author of the site and actively participating in its development.
You can use the site to do it, thanks to Drupal, that simplifies enormously this procedure, allowing besides the management of the inserted articles (change and cancellation) and making the sharing more active and stimulating (control on the comments for example).
In few words getting the recording to this service (inside the site), you can insert the articles, being connected in front of your computer, and the navigators can comment your news, everything completing some simple menù, because computer knowledges are not necessary like as particular abilities with the html language.
