ReligiousResources.org is a comprehensive directory of Internet resources for all major religions, organized into a hierarchical directory.

ReligiousResources.org is developed and maintained by Susan Brumbaugh and Stan Taylor, good friends and co-owners of Aphids Communications, L.L.C.. Susan is the primary manager of the directory's content and structure; Stan concerns himself primarily with the technical aspects of the site.

History

Susan first published a site called Religious Resources on the Net in April of 1995 as part of the web site she was developing for her local church in Boulder, Colorado. It has grown from a one-page listing of less than 50 entries to a fully-developed directory containing over several thousand entries. For two years, Susan hand-edited changes to the web site. Because the number of entries was growing so large, and the organization had become so cumbersome, she asked Stan if her could develop a tool to make maintenence of the site an easier task.

In 1997, Stan imported the listings into a flat-file database system and developed Perl scripts to access it. In 2001, he moved the database into MySQL and ported the application functionality from Perl to PHP. Because of Stan's work, Susan can make changes to the directory much more quickly. Another advantage of the current implementation is that it is really easy to create new categories, change old ones, and move things around. Because each URL is stored in the database separately, you can pull up each entry in a number of ways. Each of Stan's new designs has made the directory more powerful and flexible.
