U.S. Web Design Standards – Drupal 7 theme

Introduction This is a fork of the original repo: https://github.com/18F/web-design-standards-drupal where branches are being developed simultaneously for Drupal 7 and 8. The idea is to work in parallel with the 18F repo by mirroring the issues and keeping issue conversations in the main repo. We also have CivicaActions-specific issues that have to do with building a demo site for the drupal 7 theme. That way you can visually see our development process here: http://uswds.civicactions.net/

Current status: very much a work in progress. . For further details, see the waffle.io board.

Background: As of 2012, an estimated 24 percent of U.S. government websites (including whitehouse.gov, most famously) were Drupal sites. That number has only continued to increase.

Just as the Bootstrap theme bridges the gap between Drupal and the Bootstrap Framework, a USWDS theme will make it simpler and easier for Drupal site administrators to use the U.S. Web Design Standards. A Drupal 8 version of the theme will additionally make it easier for site administrators to update to this major new version of Drupal.
