Drupal Meetup: Multi-headed Drupal, an alternative
Managing many closely related websites, or sites subdivided in a plurality of rich, self-affirming sections, is a complex problem. Whether it’s a company with multiple departments or a newspaper with content curated for different regions, this issue has powerful implications at the content architecture, design and development levels.
