Breakout Room 1

Backdrop contains several different methods for how to put ALT text on your images. None are perfect, and there is room for improvement. In this discussion I would like to cover:

• How to store ALT text with Image fields (see video)
• How to store ALT text with Image (File) entities (see video)
• We can improve this! How do we want core to handle this, in the future? 

There are a variety of content access modules that work in slightly different ways.

Modules confirmed:

• Token Content Access - this will include a demo of several new, exclusive to Backdrop, features

Other possible modules if someone to demo:

Many universities are adopting Backdrop CMS for various reasons, with budget efficiency and flexibility being key factors. As financial and structural considerations become increasingly important, let's explore the features that can make the CampusDrop platform a strong choice for educational institutions (K-12, community colleges, and universities). We'll discuss flexible layouts with Layout Paragraphs, customizable content types, preset views, and display options, among other capabilities designed to meet the unique needs of educational organizations.

We will review how developers are using ddev and how to transition from other DevOps tools (such as Docksal) to DDEV.

Please continue discussion on Discord 

There is work happening on the Content Moderation module and Workflow modules.

This session will talk about what these modules do, about progress being made, and about other related modules.

Can and should Backdrop CMS compete with Wordpress, Squarespace, and/or WIX as a tool for individuals with limited (or without any) coding skills, to build their own website?

Not everyone will agree that this is possible or even something worth trying for. But, if you would like to see Backdrop CMS moving in that direction, this session is intended as a discussion about what we can do to move in that direction. Most likely, we’ll focus on contrib ideas, but we may also discuss ideas for Backdrop CMS core.

One of the things that we’ve worked hard to create in Backdrop CMS is an improved Editor experience. As a fork of Drupal 7, we inherited the power and flexibility of custom content types, fields, and views from Drupal. But, we also inherited some confusing user interfaces that sometimes frustrate and discourage site editors. While Backdrop CMS has implemented a number of changes that we think improve the editor experience, there is still a great deal of room for improvement.

Without any special action, the Backdrop CMS user interface is presented in English. But of course the system can also be operated in other languages, e.g. Arabic, French, Hebrew, Persian, Spanish, Swedish, and many more.

In this session let's talk about,

• how to equip a Backdrop website's user interface with multiple languages,
• which tools can be used to translate the user interface individually,
• how to help improve translations for the community on the Backdrop translation server.
