Recent successes
AI Publications importer
Allows councils to automatically transform PDFs into our new web based Publications content format. Award winning project by Chicken and Southwark Council.
Bus data
Cumberland and The Confident recently worked together on a Drupal module which imports UK bus timetable data and exposes everything for use on local council websites.
Elections
Multiple rounds of funding from Cumberland, Walsall and Westmorland & Furness Councils have paid for Election notices, multiple seats in wards and a design refresh. Rohallion has lead the dev work.
Subsite Extras
With funding from Essex County Council, Chicken brought functionality developed for Hammersmith & Fulham Council to everyone.
Event channels
With the same Essex funding, Chicken are creating a new version of Events that will include multiple event channels rather than a single list. Brighton & Hove has also contributed and is already using the code on its site.
How the Community Fund works
If you would like to fund something above, or have an idea for a project please email Will.
Once we have enough support for a project, we'll start work. Projects are delivered in a few different ways:
- a single council and its developers doing the work, with other councils contributing through inter-council money transfers
- a Drupal supplier leading, with councils paying them direct
- our core team leading, and councils can pay us
