We’ve been strategizing, evaluating & deploying the Government of Canada’s (GoC) Drupal 7 Web eXperience Toolkit (WxT) since it was first released over a year ago.  We’ve implemented this for government agencies inside & outside the GoC because it is clear that so many agencies need to meet the dual challenge of a site which is both bilingual & accessible. 

The Drupal Variant of the Web eXperience Toolkit is an open platform for web publishing which has a critical mass of public sector agencies collaborating with it publicly in GitHub.   It is also exciting to see institutions like the University of Ottawa adopting it because of their need to ensure that their website is fully bilingual and meets WCAG 2.0 AA.

A plain Drupal installation does not provide everything that is required so, here are the basic steps to optimize it to the last detail.

Features is a popular module that’s been circulating around in the Drupalsphere for over three years. For those unfamiliar, it creates a module out of a set of configurations and entities from a Drupal site, capturing it in code, therefore allowing you to easily recreate the same configurations and entities on another site (or the same site for that matter).
