'''Timelines'''

We want to make sure that the new system will be able to support any future technology needs, like enhanced sign-in.
  
−
Alpha project is available and you can experiment with it now. We anticipate it will be in alpha mode for several months. We will be coming out with more information for the community about the changeover from WET to GC Design system in the coming weeks.
+
'''More information from the chat:'''
  
−
'''Question section (Ask me anything)'''
+
* Canada.ca currently focuses on Information as a Service which does not require authentication. We are still evaluating future state capabilities and what that represents.  We do know that ESDC through BDM is procuring a new Access Management System.  Our objective is to ensure that the new Canada.ca platform has the levers to permit future state capabilities.
  
−
How does the information get disseminated to the developers through the community? For example our team was going to switch to Drupal, and they had no idea that the GC Design System was coming.
+
'''Qː''' In the RFI, did you ask about analytics capabilities?  
  
−
'''DTO Answer:'''
+
'''A:''' Yes we did, and also CDS gave us some input about analytics considerations such as AI.
  
−
Our hope is that the Web teams at departments are conduits to educate their colleagues. So this meeting is one of the main communication tools.
+
'''Q:''' Curious about AI capabilities.  
  
−
'''Follow up to all participants:'''
+
'''A:''' We asked companies how they could support AI requirements we might have. We are looking forward to what industry will tell us.
  
−
If anyone has guidance documents for synching up comms and tech staff, please forward it along to: [mailto:Abigail.Hambly@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca Abigail.Hambly@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca]
+
'''Q:''' In terms of archiving, one of the other functions at CRA is looking at ways to be able to remove the need for single page guides (HTML and PDF) but still leverage the use of multiple web pages...so a way to build content that can be both optimized for web, but could also degrade to a simple single page (print or save as PDF friendly)....that could be an important function.
  
−
'''Question:'''
+
'''A:''' Yes, we are working to ensure the platform will allow for these kinds of capabilities, but at the same time we are not building the capabilities ourselves.

About the topic template, all of our content needs to be updated to new templates. Is it a good time to update, should I wait?

It’s clear that we need more follow up on this issue, to find out exactly what happened, how much of an effect it has had on pages, on how to rectify the problems. We’ll be working on this in the coming days.

Based on the discussion, I’m assuming that a lot of the groups are under AEM. My team uses Drupal. We can’t easily update our H1, will there be a fix in Drupal for this? We are getting pressure from our senior management.

'''Answer:'''

−
No, at this time, there’s no move for a standardized system. There has been work on this in the past but it hasn’t led anywhere. Suggest you reach out on Slack, because many departments have done this kind of work.

'''Question:'''

Is there a plan to pivot from the current “non funded” web framework to a well funded digital focus that supports building better digital services.

In summary, that's the plan with the GC Design System. You can check out the alpha version: https://design-system.alpha.canada.ca/

We can suggest that you connect with the CDS platform team to help with the development of the new system.
