data.gov

I don't know if the U.S. federal gov can be said to have "standardized" on Drupal, but parts of it are still run on Drupal, including Whitehouse.gov. However, there used to be more U.S. Drupal sites, including Data.gov...there was even some hubabaloo about them releasing the source code: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/12/05/datagov-goes-globa... https://groups.drupal.org/node/194808 Viewing the source code of the current data.gov (view-source:http://www.data.gov/), it looks like the moved it to WordPress. That's a pretty damning migration. Edit: The current repo for Data.gov can be found on Github - https://github.com/GSA/data.gov/ Here's the shit-show that was apparently Data.gov's Drupal installation: https://github.com/opengovplatform/ogpl-d7 And quite humorously, it seems to be something that we're exporting to other governments,

Thanks for pointing this out. We've updated the highlighted dataset to something that is better maintained, but if you find other problems please do ticket them on github (https://github.com/GSA/data.gov/issues) These kinds of issues will improve as a new approach to listing datasets is implemented. This is currently underway and is described on Project Open Data - http://project-open-data.github.io/implementation-guide/ We're also working on some basic automated tests to ensure listings have the correct MIME type (which is incorrect far too often) and that URLs aren't 404s or redirects or HTML pages rather than raw data. For those interested, please do consider applying for the open position - https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/363324500 I'll do my best to answer any questions about the position and the process of applying.

Correct! 95% of job postings in gov tech are called "technical specialist," no matter what you actually do. To see the actual site stack: https://github.com/GSA/data.gov
