A major goal for this website was to have not only the homeowner's pages, but also to enable contributions from others working on the project.

During construction, we used the Drupal software, which allowed us to minimize the dependency on external services to create an integrated platform. The most straightforward way to accomplish that was with a centrally managed database, rather than using various web services for the different site components.

Construction on the house was completed in 2009 and as such, no new articles are being posted to this site. However, the site does feature a real-time readout of the energy produced by the solar panels, and an overview of the construction techniques that may be of interest to others considering green technology.
