## Notes

LocalGov Drupal is a Drupal install profile that UK councils use for their public websites. A new site is scaffolded with Composer from the `localgov_project` template, as the [installation docs](https://project.pages.drupalcode.org/localgov_docs/legacy-documentation/deploying-localgov-drupal/installing-and-deploying-lgd/) show.

Open Digital Cooperative Ltd, a multi-stakeholder co-operative registered as a company limited by guarantee, governs the project, and the homepage counts the council sites and microsites built on it.

## Worth knowing

The GitHub repository is marked archived and points to the drupal.org project, which is the current home. The Composer package moved from `localgovdrupal/localgov` to `drupal/localgov`.
