[Athen] Drupal

[Sebastian Kelle]

We also have been doing some development with Drupal back at my previous
workplace in Germany, specifically addressing accessibility. If you want to
use Drupal out of the box you won't be getting very far. It requires a good
deal of finetuning with the templating system and some javascript coding.
The upside is that Drupal is very customizeable at this level of detail,
unlike most other CMSes. There is a reason that quite a few .gov sites use
Drupal.


best,
Sebastian
