Drupal WxT is a version of Drupal designed for the Canadian government and organizations with bilingual and accessibility requirements and represents a faithful implementation of the Web Experience Toolkit/Boîte à outils de l'expérience Web (WET-BOEW). It provides components and templates for building accessible, multilingual, easy-to-use, and mobile-friendly websites.
In this webinar, Evolving Web wants to share ideas for the future of content management in the Canadian government's departments and agencies.
