Choosing a platform for the telecentre.org distributed network

Telecentre.org has outlined plans for a distributed network of telecentre network sites around the world, which will include a site for telecentre.org itself. This document outlines the process we followed for choosing a telecentre.org web platform; the platform we ultimately selected was Drupal. For the specific requirements and overall web strategy that guided this process please see the separate telecentre.org online strategy document. The overall vision is of a network of sites that will likely run on a variety of platforms, including a growing number of sites that run on our Drupal-based “support net in a box”.
