Drupal

The Drupal CMS product strategy has been updated.

Version 2.0 reflects nearly two years of building, and makes some important clarifications on who Drupal CMS is built for and where it's headed.

Key updates include AI treated as infrastructure, not a feature, integrated hosting providers named as a distribution priority, and a clearer focus on helping agencies and developers succeed faster.

Drupal just got a lot more fun to use.

Drupal CMS 2.0 has launched with drag-and-drop page building, site templates that install in under 3 minutes, and AI-powered tools—all without requiring Drupal expertise.

Product Owner Pam Barone breaks down what makes this release different and why site templates are about to change how marketing teams launch websites.

"Up until now, adopting Drupal meant compromising on user experience. With Canvas, that compromise is gone."

Starting a Drupal site used to mean starting from scratch.

That changes with the launch of the Drupal Site Template Marketplace at marketplace.drupal.org — purpose-built starting points for nonprofits, universities, healthcare providers, government agencies, event organizers, and SaaS companies.

Free and premium options available now.

Big news for Drupal core: Gin will become the new default admin theme, replacing Claro.

Gin started as an experiment but has grown into a modern, state-of-the-art theme used by Drupal CMS. With work underway to bring Gin into core by Drupal 11.3, we’re excited about the improvements this will bring to the admin experience.

You can support this important effort by sponsoring the Gin maintainers: https://www.drupal.org/project/gin#sponsoring

Please note: There has been a major failure of a drive array on the NFS servers that back Drupal.org, and have been unable to cleanly fail to a secondary. The team is actively working to resolve the issue, but it is unlikely to be a quick fix. For latest updates please follow "Drupal Infra" on Mastodon (@drupalinfra@mastodon.social).

Last week at DrupalSouth Pam Barone gave a keynote on how Drupal CMS is changing the Drupal landscape. Dries said it's one of the clearest articulations he's seen of what Drupal CMS is, why it exists, and where it's headed.

Pam's keynote explains how Drupal CMS is making Drupal easier across the board - and why that matters for new developers, for agencies, and for Drupal at any scale, be it small builds or enterprise scale.

It’s a must watch.
