When creating an About page, think about your audience and anticipate the questions they have about your organization as well as what you want them to know about you.

Drutopia

Drutopia is a platform cooperative, technology owned and supported by its users. Currently we are focusing on two Drupal distributions for grassroots organizations- the one you are using right now, Drutopia Base,  and Solidarity -  a distribution for member-based organizations.

Drutopia Base

This distribution comes with features such as an accessible and responsive theme, popular content types and onsite fundraising . You can see a full list of features on the Modules administrative page.

We're also constantly improving Drutopia Base. You can see what features and improvements we're working on at our Roadmap page.

For questions on using the distribution, you can

• consult the Help pages
• ask a question in Drutopia Chat
• File a support ticket in the Drutopia GitLab Project
• email us at info@drutopia.org

Drutopia is democratic! Support the project and shape its future by becoming a member. Visit drutopia.org for more information.

Agaric is also offering full-day trainings for these topics later this month. Dates, prices, more details, and registration options:

In 2018, workers rediscovered the power of the strike with nearly 500,000 people walking off the job, compared to just 25,000 in 2017. This year has proven even more of the same, with 442,700 stopping work through September.

Portside is an independent news outlet of labor activists who volunteer their time to scour the web for thoughtful, authentic coverage and analysis of worker power. In June they won the "Labor Communicator of the Year" as a result of their efforts.

Getting meaningful information on strikes is difficult. Just six corporations own 90% of media in the US. Executives like Jeff Bezos and Rupert Murdoch have a vested interest in downplaying worker power. That coupled with sophisticated misinformation campaigns and obscure social media algorithms, it's hard to cut to what's happening on the ground.

We work with Portside to help them reach as many people as possible. In 2018 we upgraded the site from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8, optimizing the website for mobile devices and adding moderation tools to make editors' lives easier.

This year we sent out a survey to readers to learn what else would be helpful to provide the coverage so many are seeking in these politically charged moments.

Nearly 500 people responded, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. That said, there's always room for improvement.

In 2019, we hope to roll out the following features to help us all follow and support the labor movement and left in general.

* Improved "Related News" functionality - Right now the articles suggested are a bit hit or miss. We need time to adjust and improve our algorithm for this.
* Create "Issue" pages - the Bolivia coup, the Rojava Revolution, the Chicago Teachers' Strike... the number of progressive, transformative, and often revolutionary movements gaining traction is dizzying. Portside provides excellent coverage, but not in a long-term, coherent way. Issue pages will help us follow breaking news, with the broader context we need to be in meaningful solidarity. Editors are already hard at work cleaning up the tagging system for articles. We just need the time to design and build out these issue pages to better serve readers.
Just these two improvements will make a real difference to how well we can stay informed of what our fellow workers are up to and how we can support them.

This same functionality is theoretically possible for other list fields, but In Other Words does not currently support summarizing text and numeric lists. We have opened a feature request to do so, but do not currently have the need ourselves, so we welcome your involvement. Feel free to open issues about things you think would make the module better, too!

A final note. We went through considerable effort to allow In Other Words' conjoining symbols and words, as well as surrounding text, to appear immediately before or after the items in a list with no whitespace. (Note: This does not work when Twig debugging is enabled.) This means you can have information presented as a sentence that ends with a period, "Open Tuesday–Friday." It also means that if you want spacing you need to ensure you add it as part of your join symbol or separator, your final join word, and your before and after text. This is a common gotcha in configuring In Other Words field formatters that you, perhaps, can now avoid!

We are experts in Drupal migrations. We can move content from your old site to your Drupal 8, 9, or 10 site so that you can keep working with all of your old content, all while gaining access to the flexibility, functionality, and forward-compatibility of modern Drupal.

Perhaps most important, while helping improve your content architecture and moving everything to your upgraded site, we will preserve your old site's SEO, which may have been years in the making. Agaric migrations keeps crucial paths on your site—which have been indexed by search engines, linked to from around the web, and bookmarked by your visitors—working or redirected to equivalent content.

Whether you are merging seven types of content containers (that were all basically blog posts) into one—or splitting a ninety field complex posting form into different content types with appropriate functionality for different purposes—we make your old content work the way you want to work now. By improving your old content, not only improving your website around it, you gain the flexibility to repurpose the old content for the lengthening tail of new ways of using old content. Devices and channels are continually changing, and it's not just about displaying content any more. Audio formats are increasingly popular, and providing access to your content as data, to be remixed or related to other content can make your website content much more than an archive. We bring your old content into new environments where its value can be unlocked.

The professionals come to us

Other (excellent!) web development shops often contract out to us for help with the content migration portion of site rebuilds and rebrands that they are working on, especially the hardest parts.

Similarly, clients will hire us for capacity building for migrations specifically. Agaric can provide a combination of services to give you the ability to get your website upgrade done well and efficiently. For example, we can train internal staff to be able to take on more migration and development work, without needing us. And we can also, at the same time, take on the most complex parts of the migration that do not seem likely to need repeating, or we can help where you get stuck.
