It is also used for knowledge management and business collaboration.
The standard version contains the standard features that are typical to most content management systems. These would include system administration, page layout customization, RSS-feeds, menu management as well as user account maintenance and registration. The installation can be utilized as a brochure ware website, a community website, an Internet forum or a multi user or single user blog.
Since July 20, 2010, there are more than fifty eight thousand free community modules available to extend and change the core capabilities of this application.

Dries Buytaert originally wrote this as a message board. In 2001, it became an open source project. The name comes from the Dutch word druppel, which means drop as in a drop of water.Buytaert did want to call it dorp for Dutch village. This was due to the application's community prospects. While checking for the domain name a typo was made and this is why it is known as drupal development.
