The company I work for is going to switch to Drupal for our database and systems over the next several months into next year.
We even had a staff contest to name the system, everyone voted for...wait for it...Drupal ^^
When I first heard of Drupal I had no idea what it was, except that it might sound Indian--it's actually Dutch. I did know it was open source. That's pretty much all I knew.
A quick look at my trusty Wiki revealed that it's a content management framework in PHP. It can be used for user-generated content websites and features a variety of user inteface functions like blog management and such.
Drupal 8 was in development as of Q4 2011. So I guess that's the version we'll be getting. The mere fact that this is no longer a Microsoft product will apparently save our company a bundle. Which is fascinating to think how many bundles are out there waiting to be saved. And why people still put up with Microsoft at all if it's such a headache.
The system seems personalizable, like with themes and color schemes, which is cool.
Looks like our system will again have the "fun" in functional once it's up and running. I can't wait. :o)
