Drupal CMS core
The color editor being used to adjust the "Garland" core theme
Drupal core is the "stock" installation of Drupal, which can be optionally extended by third party contributions. In Drupal's default configuration, website content can be contributed by either registered or anonymous users (at the discretion of the administrator) and made accessible to web visitors by a variety of selectable criteria including by date, category, searches, etc. Drupal core also includes a hierarchical taxonomy system, which allows content to be categorized or "tagged" with key words for easier access.[1]
Drupal maintains a detailed changelog of core feature updates by version.[2]
Drupal core includes "core modules" which can be enabled by the administrator to extend the functionality of the core website.[2]
The core Drupal distribution provides a number of features[3], including:
Drupal core includes several "core themes", which customize the aesthetic look-and-feel of the site. These themes can be chosen by the administrator via a special menu.[5]
The Color Module, introduced in Drupal core 5.0, allows administrators to change the color scheme of certain themes via a Web-browser interface. This feature was added to allow a higher level of customization for the average non-coder.[6]
As of February 2008, translations for Drupal's interface were available in 44 languages plus English (the default).[7] Some read right to left, such as Arabic, Persian and Hebrew. Drupal 6 provides improved support for content and content administration in multiple languages.[8]
Drupal can automatically notify the administrator when a new version of any module, theme, or the Drupal core itself, becomes available. This feature can help keep a Drupal installation up-to-date with the latest features and security fixes.[8]
An auto-update module for the older version 5.x provides identical functionality, but it is not included in the core release.[9]
