  • CitizenSpeak Colophon

    There were two projects in getting CitizenSpeak up and running: Developing the CitizenSpeak module and creating the CitizenSpeak site. While they were intertwined, they also provided distinct educations. I found that the I18n module can serve dual purposes; it provides the Spanish language interface to the site as well as allowing us to customize standard…

  • Developing the CitizenSpeak Module
