Drupal CMS HistoryOriginally written by Dries Buytaert as a message board, Drupal became an open source project in 2001.[6]Drupal is an English rendering of the Dutch word “druppel”, which means “drop” (as in “a water droplet”).[7] The name was taken from the now-defunct Drop.org website, whose code slowly evolved into Drupal. Buytaert wanted to call the site “dorp” (Dutch for “village”, referring to its community aspects), but made a typo when checking the domain name and thought it sounded better.[6]
From May 2007 to April 2008, Drupal was downloaded from the Drupal.org website more than 1.4 million times, an increase of approximately 125% from the previous year.[8][9] A large community now helps develop Drupal.[10]
Drupal's popularity is growing rapidly. Over 70 well-known brand names and not-for-profit organizations now use Drupal. [11]
As of February 2009, Drupal 6.10 is the latest release.[12] Drupal is a winner of several Packt Open Source CMS Awards.[13]
