## Notes

Mukurtu CMS is an open-source platform for managing and sharing digital cultural heritage, built with Indigenous communities. It is distributed as a Drupal installation profile, installed with Composer on top of Drupal core.

## Worth knowing

The README lists poppler-utils for PDF thumbnails and FFmpeg for video thumbnails as server requirements. It recommends a 512MB PHP memory limit, and says the team works with nginx and has not tested Apache extensively.
