Hot thread about merits of Drupal in Government over at Knight News Challenge...
Hi folks,
A couple of weeks ago we submitted a proposal to the Knight News Challenge (http://kng.ht/16Fw8w6) for free hosted open data portals for local government based on our DKAN Drupal Distro (http://drupal.org/project/DKAN). The submission made the front page of the contest based on "applause," and got some nice press coverage (http://bit.ly/10Gp7Zj), which has drawn enough interest to ignite a bit of a flame war about the merits, or lack thereof, of Drupal for government. Please do weigh in as you see fit! :)
Best,
Andrew

Hi All, had another productive session on Tuesday working on the /Developer module. After having a few weeks to think about the module and functionality, we started adding tickets for enhancements to the github repo:

We decided to target a v0.1 milestone release on November 16 to coincide with the 6 month mark of the Digital Strategy.
We're going to be making incremental changes over the next few weeks, looking to get back together in early- to mid-November.
