Exactlyfour years ago, on January 15th 2001, I released Drupal 1.0.0. The
 following snippet is taken directly from the original announcement:
 
Today, drop.org announces the releaseof drupal 1.00 after an extensive period of testing. Drupal is a
 full-featured content management/discussion engine using
 Apache/PHP/MySQL and suitable to setup a news-driven community or
 portal site similar to kuro5hin.org and slashdot.org. Current features
 include discussion forums, web-based administration, theme support, an
 open submission queue, content management, a modularized design, PHP
 sessions, user management with access control and
 username/profanity/hostname filters, error logging, a public diary
 module, an affiliate site module, backend/headline generation (RSS/RDF)
 and much more.
 Well, happy birthday Drupal! |
