LocalGov Drupal
Drupal distribution and install profile for building public-facing websites for UK councils.
localgovdrupal.orgrepositorydocs
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 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.
