Large Scale Drupal is a program run by Acquia's Office of the CTO. We work with large organizations where Drupal is of high strategic importance. Most of these companies are pushing the limits of Drupal and its capabilities.
It is clear that these organizations have something to contribute to the development of Drupal. Large Scale Drupal is a program dedicated to providing a forum for these organizations to collaborate around major issues they'd like to resolve in Drupal, and then work within the community process to realize these objectives. Through this program, large organizations will be able to contribute both ideas and resources to projects via the community.
Specifically, this group is used to present proposals selected by the group that represent large problems that each organization is willing to put resources toward. We'd like to start a discussion of these issues in the community to find out if the ideas have merit, and how we would approach solutions to these problems (cross posting where necessary).

LSD CSI Prototype
The prototype was designed around the following story line: https://gist.github.com/4cb3d31f4dbfcedbfe96
These are a few actions of few given users from the their perspective. The most important part of prototype is the preview bar. This bar is what will be used to interact with both the review mode and the preview mode.
Read moreLSD CSI Technical Architectural Document
The Content Staging Initiative (hereafter referred to as CSI) aims to meet the requirements of the Large Scale Drupal (hereafter referred to as LSD) group in conjunction with the Drupal Community to solve the issues of Workflow, Collection System, and Site Preview for Enterprise Drupal Clients.
This project would build a system for managing the publication life-cycle and staging of content on a Drupal site. This system would equate to a “time machine” for Drupal allowing you to see the state of your site at any given time in the past or future. This would be accomplished via publication “states” that are date-tagged and can be moved through a publication life-cycle or workflow. In essence, a content editor would be able to package a series of content revisions for publication and view that content in the context of the overall site at any given point in the past or future based upon the selected state. For more information see the CSI home page.

This is a place to track D8 issues that relate to LSD CSI. Please feel free to update.
An ongoing goal beyond this phase of LSD-CSI project is to make the content preview system much easier to do in Drupal 8. The following areas should be addressed.

One of the requirements for the LSD initiative is that layouts themselves be editorial controlled. This means providing revisions to layouts with the ability to move the layout through an approval workflow.
I'm not proposing we put this functionality directly in core, but we provide a way for contrib to "easily" add the functionality.

Content Staging in core - let's make a plan
The lack of a robust content staging solution in Drupal has been long standing. In this post I won't go into details of why this is such a difficult problem to solve. Instead, I'll suggest a plan, to make a plan, to solve it! So, those of you that are interested in tackling a strategically important functionality for Drupal 8, please continue to read.
