Mica 2

Preview

Mica 1 limitations

  • Performance when viewing and editing (Drupal database constraints)
  • Difficult to improve (Drupal API constraints)
  • Difficult to upgrade (Drupal distribution constraints)

Mica 2 solutions

  • Opal is used for variables edition
  • Manage networks, studies and datasets documents in a separate server (Java):
    • easier to develop
    • easier to maintain and upgrade
    • dedicated mica administration web application
  • Drupal is used for viewing only
    • mica related pages can still be customized (content, layout and style)
    • not a distribution anymore: mica is a Drupal module

  • Domain coverage of anything, combined with search criteria
