Jon PughIf there was a tool to keep track of your sites, regardless of where they were hosted, telling you their status, perhaps a one-click-login feature, would you use it?
A CMS of CMSs, so to speak. Interested?
Kevin + Drupal + Beard@jon I'm questioning something I'm doing right now related to this. I'm looking at automatically creating site properties in a self-hosted instance of https://equalify.app/ the different Pantheon instances used to host hundreds of sites. We're standardizing in our approach to managing sitemap.xml files regardless of whether the site is a multi-tenancy, subdomain or stacked, but the fact that the site exists needs to be registered somewhere.
@jon At CU Boulder, we had a Python solution that we used to actually deploy sites when we were hosting Drupal on-prem, but that was never updated to work with Pantheon instances. The University of Nebraska has something called https://github.com/UNLSiteMaster. Everyone can see links to the accessibility features of that solution by clicking the QA TEst link in the footer of pages like https://www.unl.edu/.
@jon with a site like https://www.colorado.edu/ where the Pantheon AGCDN/Fastly is used to make ~1000 Drupal instances appear as one, giant site, just keeping track of the sitemap.xml files becomes a maintenance time suck. At this scale, simply having something that would generate the sitemap index file would be useful. Being able to feed lists of sites to different services would be amazing. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/large-sitemaps
Jürgen HaasMaybe something like https://www.drupal.org/project/drd ? Using this on all our Drupal sites for the purpose you described.
