Configuration Management Initiative
This page collects content for those interested in being involved in the Configuration Management Initiative for Drupal 8. Hopefully this page will be able to provide a high level status of the various activities surrounding the initiative including
- Highlighted Discussions - Open discussions on architecture issues or high-level interesting topics
- Detailed Plans - Game plan proposals with more implementation details
- Associated Issues - Issues from d.o related to parts of the initiative
In the future I can see this as a place where, for instance, we might tag issues and/or discussions with a particular sprint for tracking purposes and the like. All work is going to be done in the core sandbox project for the initiative. Right now this is pretty dead. There is a branch for UUID support but work has not begun yet. If you are interested, please provide feedback on the game plan listed below!
This page is a work in progress. If you have any feedback on it, or if there is any information you think would be useful to add, please let us know.

Getting off the island - Research into other systems
I have been conducting some research into how other systems are organized and manage their configuration and content deployment.

Please note that my experience with these systems is limited to several hours of research each, and that is just barely enough to be scratching the surface, especially since many of these systems are so different architecturally.

At DrupalCon Chicago there was a ton of energy around Drupal's staging and deployment problem. At his keynote, Dries identified this as one of the major initiatives for the Drupal 8 cycle, and following the keynote three Core Conversations were given on the topic by myself, David Strauss, and Howard Tyson. Those talks sparked conversations which continued through the week and generated a lot of really cool ideas. This post is intended to document the ideas that were discussed (at least the ones I heard) and to use those ideas to foster further discussion.
