French government portal using Drupal

After the French Ministry for Health, Youth and Sport using Drupal started using, the French government switched its official government portal to Drupal! Check it out at http://www.gouvernement.fr. Impressionnant!

The site was built by the French Government Multimedia Team and Adyax Experts (an Acquia partner). About 10 persons worked on it for several months. Most of the work was spent on building custom migration tools to switch from SPIP Agora to Drupal.

Beau travail,

Quand pensez vous mettre les modules de migration à la disposition de la communauté drupal ?

To "Anonymous": it's _extremely_ specific to our needs, so it won't be usable if we release it :(

Spip is very much in use in the French websites NGO and public bodies.

I really think you could ask the French community to organise a sprint to have your specific devllopement package. It would make a huge impact in France and cost far less to the French gouvernement.
