Request for Input re: Drupal in Courts
Greetings. As part of a project to identify courts that use Drupal, I'm drafting a blogpost seeking input on the use of Drupal in courts. In that post, I'd like to state the potential benefits of using Drupal for court Websites or other court information systems. How would you describe those potential benefits?
In the blogpost I'll be sure to credit those who provide substantive responses to this query.
Many thanks in advance for your help, and best wishes for the holidays,
Rob Richards

Request for Input re: Drupal in Courts
Continuing on Stuarts list....
- Back end is likely MySQL making the data portable and increasing
likelihood of standardization.
- Bulk data can be made available
- Creates a culture where courts can share expertise (or at least
commiserate with each other)
- Potential for single sign on

Request for Input re: Drupal in Courts
Benefits to courts using Drupal:
1. All court web sites will look the same.
2. Court web pages will load in just under 10,000ms.
3. Judges can have blogs.
4. Public comments on judicial opinions.
5. Clerks can upgrade from WordPerfect 4 to TinyMCE.

Request for Input re: Drupal in Courts
1. Drupal is free
2. Large community of developers (and growing)
3. CMSes beat hand crafted (i.e Dreamweaver) web posting any day
4. Drupal is more secure than most websites and when it has problems,
they are solved and shared a the community level. Otherwise, you have
to either solve for yourself (good luck figuring out cross-site
scripting) or wait for a vendor.
5. Drupal sites can be small or large and can be designed for scale or
run in the cloud. They do not require your own hardware.
