| downloads accounted for, and many more unaccounted for. There are 700 core
| contributors, which he describes as on the "same scale as the Linux kernel."
| There are also over 2,000 modules for Drupal. Dries emphasized that Acquia
| Network will offer "update services, real-time updates, uptime monitoring,
| support," and more.

| Created as an open-source project by Dries Buytaert, Drupal is a free content
| management framework--a tool for building customized websites quickly and
| easily, without sacrificing features or stability. Site owners can choose
| from a list of possible features: they might, say, want to publish articles,
| offer each user a profile and a blog, or allow users to vote or comment on
| content. All these features are optional, and most are independent of the
| others.

Acquia to Ship Commercially Supported Drupal Build
,----[ Quote ]
| Acquia, Drupal founder Dries Buytaert’s new company, took to the stage last
| Thursday at the Launch Pad session at the web 2.0 Expo in SF. Although they
| didn’t win the people’s choice for best startup (this honor went to Triggit),
| their soon to be released Carbon and Spokes programs are still plenty
| enticing.
|
| [...]
|
| It can be thought of as the equivalent of Red Hat distributions of Open
| Source Linux in that it’s essentially a commercial supported distribution of
| Open Source software. The benefit of such a system is that it offers users
| all the glories of open source software and community support along with
| business-quality support and response time guarantees.
