This talk focuses on the redevelopment of Fairly Local, a community-driven platform for fair trade product searches in Australia, which has been rebuilt on Drupal. The speaker discusses various aspects of the project, including the development of a native iPhone app that is powered by the Drupal site, as well as how to support third-party websites that utilize Fairly Local's ethical product search functionalities. Key topics include the integration of Facebook Connect for community contributions, implementing multiple levels of content access for different user roles, and maintaining strong visual design alongside stable platform development. The session also emphasizes the importance of a mobile-focused user experience with fully responsive layouts and a simplified UI for the app, while sharing valuable insights and considerations for future redevelopment on Drupal 7.
