Deployed in USA as Code for America Commons
What’s Working, Where?
EC Joinup in Europe (also Drupal)
World Bank Sponsoring Reusable Civic Commons Drupal “Distribution”
• Drupal distributions (“distros”) also = “installation profiles.”
• Provide website features and functions for a specific type of site, as a single download.
• Make it possible to quickly set up a complex website, still fully customizable
• Launch your own Apps Catalog or Hackathon website in less than an hour --> Code for Everywhere? 28
Drupal Distributions
• Schemas “that webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search providers.”
• Helps build the semantic web, allowing data to be shared between applications, enterprises, and communities.
29
Adopts Apps Metadata of Schema.org
• Share content between websites
• Enhance searchability
• Make it easier to reuse code and configuration
• Support sharing standards such as microformats and RDFa
• Support data federation between app stores 30
