Overview

The Drupal WxT distribution is a web content management system which assists in building and maintaining multilingual web sites that are accessible, usable, and interoperable.

This distribution complies with the mandatory requirement to implement the Content and Information Architecture (C&IA) Specification as well as consulting the reference implementation and design patterns provided by the Canada.ca design system.

This is accomplished through our integration and use of the components provided by the Web Experience Toolkit which undergoes routine usability testing as well as provides conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG 2.0) and complies to the standards on Web Accessibility, Web Usability, and Web Interoperability.

Note: Drupal WxT is open source software (FOSS) led by the Government of Canada and free for use by departments, agencies and other external web communities.

Drupal.org Tarball Installation

The tarball distributed here on drupal.org is deprecated and does not install correctly because drupal.org does not package WxT's Composer dependencies. (See this issue and this issue). Install WxT with Composer Instead. If you must use a tarball, you can download one from our GitHub repository.
