How to deploy a Drupal based metadata editor from scratch in about 10 minutes. The process can be faster and slower, but here we use the Drupal Shell (drush) and the features Drupal module to expedite the process of installing the application from scratch. It assumes that you have full access to the deployment server, you know some shell commands, and that you have a LAMP/WAMP distro. It also assumes that you are a bit familiar on how to use Drupal, what are modules, etc. The resulting application offers a Ecological Metadata Language (EML) editor and cataloging system, as well as all the benefits of the Drupal information management system. The take home here is the advantages of using drush and features to avoid the somewhat tedious process of installing modules, views, content types, and other customizations.
