+title: Improving Configuration
+author: matthew
+---
+
+Now that a default install is a bit more straightforward to set up, our
+thoughts turn to improving the customistation of that default install.
+Currently, apart from the options already present in the main configuration
+file, that involves knowing a bit of Perl, in order to create a Cobrand .pm
+file containing the various customistations. So to reduce that dependency,
+we've moved a number of these options into the main configuration file, so that
+hopefully a standard customisation might not need a Cobrand .pm file at all.
+
+These changes range from simple text strings that are now in templates, through
+to specifying what areas from MapIt you are interested in, or what languages
+the site is available in. The general.yml-example file contains information on
+each option, and we've updated our [customisation documentation](/customising/)
+as well.
+
+Also, thanks to some testing of a current installation by
+[Anders](https://github.com/kagee) for FiksGataMi, we've made more incremental
+improvements to the installation, including fixing a couple of tests that
+shouldn't run unless your configuration is set up in a particular way, making
+sure inherited cobrands use the best templates, and including the
+Catalyst::Devel module so running the development server is easier.
