On this day ( here about January 15, the news was a bit late :), seven years ago, Drupal 1.0.0 was released! The following text is taken from the original message:
Today, after a long period of testing, drop.org announces the release of Drupal 1.00.Drupal is a full-featured content management / discussion program that uses Apache / PHP / MySQL and is suitable for news-sharing communities or portals like kuro5hin.org and slashdot.org.Current features include discussion forums, web management interface, support for topics, open question lists, content management, modular structure, support for PHP sessions, user management with access control and filters for user names / unwanted content / hosts, error logs, diary module , module similar sites, generating RSS / RDF feeds and much more.
I was very happy to find support from people who saw the potential in Drupal after the release of its first version. At the present time, I want to say thanks to the hundreds of people who are engaged in the development of Drupal and thanks to whom Drupal is developing rapidly. ')
What has not changed in the past seven years is the fact that there are still a million great ideas to be realized.
