Re: Drupal Downunder 2012
I have only played around with drupal briefly, and I am impressed with how easy it is to work with. I am still having a little trouble understanding how srupal is developed.
Re: Drupal Downunder 2012
It's actually developed quite similarly to Linux, in that there is a benevolent dictator (Dries Buytaert) who has trusted lieutenants who are in charge of specific parts of the codebase.
There isn't a mailing list for discussions and patch submission, instead there is http://groups.drupal.org/ and the issue queue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal
Patches are submitted to the issue queue, where they're tested by both an automated test system and humans before being applied to Drupal core.
