Annertech Advances LocalGov Drupal with New Features, Governance, and Media Improvements

Annertech shared a detailed blog post authored by Tony Barker on their increased contributions to the LocalGov Drupal project. Tony outlined four main focus areas that Annertech is targeting: making the platform easier for councils and developers, introducing new features and improvements, strengthening technical governance, and enhancing the management of media and images. These initiatives aim to help councils use LocalGov Drupal more efficiently while maintaining technical excellence.

The post explains Annertech's strategies, such as improving feature visibility through visual documentation, refining content workflows, and contributing to technical architecture decisions like adopting Single Directory Components. Tony also highlights Annertech’s focus on Drupal 11 readiness and enhancing editors' experience with media management, reflecting the community’s priorities for 2025. Their approach emphasises sharing improvements upstream whenever feasible, supporting the broader LocalGov Drupal ecosystem.

Annertech’s ongoing commitment to LocalGov Drupal demonstrates the collaborative strength of the community-driven platform. By focusing on practical enhancements and governance, they continue helping councils deliver better digital services. Their work reinforces the goal of providing more accessible, maintainable, and efficient websites for public sector organisations.
