Desk-Net is a modular editorial calendar tool for mid-sized to large teams that integrates with Drupal and Thunder. It allows for story planning, editorial task management, and staff coordination. Desk-Net has three primary use cases - planned content, breaking news, and a content dashboard. The Desk-Net module syncs data between the editorial calendar and a Drupal site, including article slugs, descriptions, categories, statuses, planned freelance content, publication details, and more. Desk-Net supports multiple Drupal versions and distributions.
