Drupal already is one:

We applied to make DKAN one (and it is based on Drupal)

Good thinking! @aaronhirtenstein mentioned that Rachel Norfolk also talked about this at some point. Let's do it!

Yes absolutely, thanks for the nudge @mgifford ! I've added this to agenda of next core team meeting 😄

Looks like lots of us are having similar thoughts.

@willguv let's prioritise this in the new year!

There needs to be push for governments to use DPGs - in the UK there would need an update to https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-technology-code-of-practice

I’ll find out who’s working on this
