DRIES’S DREAM


ELIMINATE MIDDLE MAN


ELIMINATE MIDDLE MAN

“There is no reason open source software should be limited to technical users. (...) When was the last time you hired a web master to hand-craft your website and content using XHTML and CSS ?”


GET RID OF THE DEVELOPER



“My vision for Drupal is to do the same for the developers (role). I think there is a lot of room to eliminate the traditional web developer. Eliminating might be a bit too strong, but re-define the role of the web developer at least.”





“The way we try to accomplish this in Drupal is with a modular approach so users can build web sites quickly without having to do any programming. In other words, one does not have to be a true developer to build a feature rich and interactive website”

ADD MORE POWER EVERY RELEASE
