Drupal has always been known for its low-code capabilities.
However, many competitors now offer similar features, and in some areas, they even surpass what Drupal provides.
While Drupal is celebrated for its robustness, it can be challenging for newcomers, especially those with limited technical expertise.
Drupal Starshot, the project that aims to make Drupal more accessible and easier to use.
Twenty-three years after Drupal's inception, we are preparing to launch a second official version of Drupal.
For the time being, we're calling this second version "Drupal CMS".
It will be built on top of Drupal Core and common contributed modules, and available as a separate download alongside Drupal Core.
Drupal Starshot will be designed to have a great out-of-the-box experience.
It will enable Ambitious Site Builders without Drupal experience to easily create a new Drupal site and extend it with pre-packaged recipes, all using their browser.
The vision for Drupal Starshot is the outcome of highly productive brainstorming sessions with Drupal Core Committers, the Drupal Association, colleagues at Acquia, various Drupal agencies, and others.
From an implementation standpoint, it will primarily rely on the Project Browser and Recipes initiatives, while also incorporating the Experience Builder initiative.
We actually started prototyping Drupal Starshot a few weeks ago and showcased our progress at DrupalCon.
Our goal is to launch a first version of Drupal Starshot within 8 months.
Drupal Starshot is more than a technological leap;
it represents a shift in how we think, innovate, and collaborate.
It's about reaching for the stars and making the Open Web accessible to everyone.
