distribution profile

Botafoc.cat is a project to be focused on making a base distribution of drupal. The idea is compile the typical modules and configurations that is in vast majority sites using drupal.

The Vision

• Kiwigov is a free open source Drupal 7 distribution developed specifically for New Zealand government organisations.
• Install a fully featured, New Zealand government standards compliant Drupal 7 website in under 10 minutes.
• WCAG 2.0 Level AA out of box!

The Opportunity

Drupal within New Zealand is primed for an outpouring of growth and acceptance in usage. Particularly within NZ's government sector. Imagine... Drupal as the preferred government solution in New Zealand!

The Calling

Hello,

Every Museum/gallery have the same needs. They need a way to manage and display their collection, add event, add exhibitions, sell stuff on a store, blogs,...

This sound like a good match for a Drupal distribution.

Do you know any work already done in this direction?

Regards

Panopoly provides, by default, an 'editor' role which I find myself using a lot. But using it means I have to guide the site administrator to create a user with the role editor. I thought it could better be handled by providing a form to create that user, next to the form that creates user 1.

And since user 1 usually sees a lot more than the site builder will ever need, I thought I could just finish the installation and log the user as editor.

How do I do that? Also, is it a good idea?

The BC Public Service, an organization of 30,000 employees across an immense province, relaunched its corporate intranet in April 2010. In just 50 working days from development to production, a tiny team built an interactive intranet to support employee communications and collaboration. This work was completed within the existing site budget using an open-source platform.

These are some of the modules we used:

I and many others have asked for a list of the contributed modules used to build Whitehouse.gov. After it was pointed out to me that David Cole had displayed the list in one of his slides at DrupalCon—San Francisco, I found the archived presentation video, viewed it, and paused on that frame until I had my best guess of what each fuzzy entry said. Then I confirmed names by crosschecking that list against the list on Drupal.org of all modules available for Drupal 6. For all who are interested, this post not only lists these modules but also links to the respective project page for each module.

If you are looking into creating a "Government" distribution profile, this should give you a good start.

Where plans for Drupal 7 are to move all or part of a module into core, I have noted that next to the respective entry. Generally when only part of a module will be moved into core the remaining components will continue to be available for Drupal 7 on the same project page as before.

Hi all, the Transmission network (http://transmission.cc) has just completed a full proposal to the Knight News Challenge, for a video-focused 'Transmission Drupal Distribution': http://tinyurl.com/txknightdrupal. If we get the $, we will do an open consultation process with Transmission network partners and the Drupal community to determine the modules we will fund development of. Please check out the proposal, rate it up, and if you think you would use this distribution, leave a comment to let Knight know it would be useful! Thanks.

Hi,

Just wanted to pop my head in and let everyone know of the new release of ProsePoint (www.prosepoint.org), a CMS for publishing online newspapers and magazines.

If you look closely at ProsePoint, you'll discover it's derived from Drupal. In fact, it's a Drupal distribution bundled into a single tarball for easy download. Of course, that means there's third party code in there, but it's all in the name of making life easier for end users.

Hi,

Just wanted to announce the availability of the first (alpha) release of ProsePoint, a newspaper content management system.

Some things to note:

ProsePoint is a distribution built on top of Drupal 6.

It is currently alpha software and this is the first release. Hence, there are most likely all sorts of bugs and design inefficiencies. Please be welcome to try it, but use at your own risk.

It has the most customisation and add-on functionality of any distribution that I know of. The eventual aim is to have everything ready to go out of the box. No more searching for extra modules or testing of combinations of modules. Just install and go!

Hace un tiempo que estoy desarrollando un foro en Drupal con funcionalidades similares a los que todos conocemos.

Durante este proceso documente todos los pasos para crear un foro con Drupal 5.2.
