Drupal: Product, Framework, or Platform?

In its ten year history, Drupal has grown from a scrappy dorm project to an open source powerhouse that powers 1 in every 50 web sites.

As the project and its community have expanded, however, the number of diverse stakeholders and guiding interests have multiplied. That's meant an ongoing tug-of-war for the project's direction, and the challenge of pleasing everyone has put increasing pressure on the developer community.

As a community, we need to buckle down and make real choices about how we'll address the needs of our stakeholders, how we'll balance competing interests, and how we'll protect our limited developer resources from burnout while we're at it.
