When people ask, "What is Drupal?" there is a popular response in the Drupal world:

1. it is a content management system
2. it is a content management framework
3. it is a community

The hardest part to describe, at least to a techie like me, is the community part. But the best way to understand the uniqueness of the Drupal community is to attend a DrupalCon or DrupalCamp.

While the aggregation of content has been around as long as the World Wide Web and the ability to filter aggregated content has advanced considerably over two decades – as seen through search engines, news websites, personal feed aggregation, etc. The ability to disseminate content across multiple networks has seemingly been slow to develop.
