The NP8 distribution

A distribution tailor-made for media companies


We developed and maintain the NP8 distribution, which is used by many Swiss newspapers.

The distribution depends and is constantly improved through the development of many of the modules that we develop.


  • Entity browser
  • Dropzone JS
  • Captcha
  • Search API Solr
  • Search API
  • Entity Reference Revision
  • Monitoring
  • Redis
  • Views Custom Cache Tag
  • Default Content
  • Pathauto
  • Redirect

We are maintaining their platforms or consulting their teams and agencies about release roll outs, best practices and customization.

NP8 is actively maintained by MD Systems. We are monitoring dependencies and assess the severity of updates. We reprioritise the criticality of updates based on our clients individual configuration and alert them in case of a critical update or roll it out where it is our responsibility.

We also roll out newly developped features and perform upgrade of all modules to the most recent stable functionality.
