From the award-winning...

In related news, one of our sites has won an award! FreeBibleimages is a Christian website sharing specially commissioned photographs depicting stories from the Bible, and also licensing some illustrated stories. Goznet Systems, the creators of Kourou, were approached to implement the website after the success of the Farnham Foodbank site. Anyway, FreeBibleimages walked away the winner in the People's Choice category at the 2012 Christian New Media Awards and Conference, and received this fine lump of Perspex to show for it - the icing on the cake after the buzz generated by the nomination alone!

In accepting the award, FreeBibleimages' Paul Thompson dedicated it to the late Tony Staite, one of the founder members, without whose vision and financial generosity the project might never have got off the ground.

Novelty/complexity model

This isn't quite so obviously Kourou, but it's a little web application for AJP Consulting going live any time now that employs some of the modular elements of it. This is why we call Kourou a content management platform, rather than system - it's a loose collection of technology that can come together in many forms, from individual bits of handy functionality able to be dropped in to independently managed websites, to complete ground-up site designs.

The web application collects a number of responses about a project from the registered user, which are then analysed to determine the novelty and complexity of the project, to recommend further reading, and to generate a reference PDF containing all of the above in a handy print-off-and-keep format.

In this case, the quickform element of Kourou is used in the admin interface, significantly accelerating what could otherwise have been a very laborious and error-prone development process for something not directly visible to the visiting users.
