Drupal
Drupal is a free and open source content management framework written in PHP and distributed under the GNU (General Public License). It is used as a back frame work for at 2.1% of all websites worldwide ranging from personal blogs to corporate, political and government sites. It is also used for knowledge management and business collaboration.
The standard release of Drupal, known as Drupal core, contains basic features common to content management systems. These include user account registration and maintenance, menu management, RSS feeds, taxonomy, page layout customization, and system administration. The Drupal core installation can serve as a simple Web site, a single- or multi-user blog, an Internet Forum, or a community Web site providing for user generated content.
Taxonomy, a powerful core module, gives your sites use of the organizational keywords known in other systems as categories, tags, or metadata. It allows you to connect, relate and classify your website’s content. In Drupal, these terms are gathered within "vocabularies." The Taxonomy module allows you to create, manage and apply those vocabularies. Taxonomy is the practice of classifying content. It will come in handy for everything from menu and navigation schemes to view and display options.
User-generated content (UGC) is defined as "any form of content such as blogs, discussion forums, posts, chats, tweets, digital images, video, audio files, advertisements and other forms of media that was created by users of an online system or service, often made available via social media websites.
As of April 2015, the Drupal community has provided more than 31,000 contributed modules. Such modules alter and extend the core capabilities, behavior, and appearance of a Drupal site.
Drupal support
Origination - DrupalDrupal originated as a bulletin board system developed by Dries Buytaert in the Netherlands, and became an Open Source project in 2001. When establishing his original Drop.org Website, Buytaert wanted to call the site "dorp" ("village" in Dutch), but made a typo when checking the domain name, and decided the altered form sounded better (Drupal is a transliteration of the Dutch "druppel" which means droplet).
