GovCMS Developer Wiki

Welcome to the GovCMS developer wiki. This is a community maintained wiki which is curated by the GovCMS team at the Department of Finance. The goal is to use clear language, useful overviews, and supplement this with links to other resources.

Wiki purpose	Wiki guidelines
Information about GovCMS the Drupal distribution. Information about GovCMS the hosting platform (aka Lagoon). Help for various platforms like Windows, Linux and MacOS. Tips and troubleshooting information.	Try to http://asciiflow.com to draw diagrams. Ironically avoid internal links and ToCs for now, because they break easily. You can create issues in the issue queue for quick feedback/updates.
