It’s that time of the year again and for many Drupal fans this gathering is a very important one: DrupalCon, 2010.
One of the most interesting articles and discussions of note though is how many attendees are talking about WordPress and how Drupal has a lot to learn and perhaps fear:
WordPress is quickly transforming from a blog engine to a content management system.
Drupal may be stronger, more secure, more flexible, more mature, more stable, and more technically awesome. But the Drupal community needs to recognize that these things won’t guarantee our survival.
WordPress has the brand, and the market. WordPress serves as the perfect introduction to web publishing, and once people are hooked it’s hard to break their loyalty.
I love how their open to the discussion of other platforms and willing to learn from best-practices and changing conditions within the ecosystem.
Right on.
