Drupalorg

Drupalorg is the primary official website for the Drupal content management system, serving as a central hub for the Drupal community. The site hosts the Drupal project itself, including releases, source code, documentation, and a knowledge base for developers, site builders, and end users. It is maintained by the Drupal Association and operated on a distributed infrastructure that mirrors the community’s collaborative ethos.

The history of Drupalorg dates back to the emergence of Drupal in 2001 when the first version (Drupal 1.0) was released. The website was initially managed by a small group of volunteers but grew dramatically as the platform’s popularity expanded. In 2006, Drupal 3 was launched under a new licensing model, and the site became a focal point for contributions and community discussions. In 2015, the Drupal Association acquired the domain, leading to a restructured site that emphasizes community governance, transparent financial oversight, and shared decision‑making.

Drupalorg offers a range of services. The "Project Pages" section contains download links, release notes, and a changelog. The "Tools" section provides access to the Drupal core development repository, a bug tracking system, feature requests, and an issue queue. A "Learning" portal aggregates documentation, tutorials, and the official Drupal Training Guide. The "Community" area hosts discussion forums, the public issue queue, and the Drupal Answers site, facilitating peer support. The “Marketplace” showcases contributed modules, themes, and distribution projects, offering a curated directory of integrations and templates.

Collaborators use Drupalorg as a collaboration point for code review, functional testing, and release management. Core maintainers coordinate through the site’s issue queue and discussion panels, while site builders and system integrators use the library of contributed modules to extend or customize instances of Drupal. As the nucleus of the nationwide and global Drupal ecosystem, Drupalorg serves as the official portal for documentation, development, and community engagement.
