This is typically done using Drupal’s multi-site feature. “Multi-site allows you to share a single Drupal installation (including core code, contributed modules, and themes) among several sites” [1]. This is a use case commonly adopted by consortia (eg. UPEI’s CAIRN repository, University of Florida Virtual Campus, Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries). This option simplifies site maintenance, module upgrades, management of dependencies, documentation, standards maintenance, XML Form deployment, etc.  \r\n\r\n[1] https://www.drupal.org/documentation/install/multi-site "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Islandora/Islandora-Fedora4-Interest-Group/issues/comments/73084836","html_url":"https://github.com/Islandora/Islandora-Fedora4-Interest-Group/issues/14#issuecomment-73084836","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Islandora/Islandora-Fedora4-Interest-Group/issues/14","id":73084836,"user":{"login":"daniel-dgi","id":2521309,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2521309?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi","html_url":"https://github.com/daniel-dgi","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/daniel-dgi/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-05T17:08:43Z","updated_at":"2015-02-05T17:08:43Z","body":"And to get back to the original post, YES!  Quite a few of our users run multi-sites for lots of reasons.  Seperate branding/theming per collections, consortiums, etc...  We are 100% committed to making sure this will happen.  Thanks for opening the issue and starting the discussion, Donald."}}
