I-Drupal yi- CMS yamahhala. I-Acquia yinkampani enika iinkonzo zeDrupal ezihlawulwe, kwaye igalela ngokukhululekileyo ikhowudi ebalulekileyo kwiindawo zaseDrupal.
Ukudideka kuvela kuba umntu ofanayo, uDries Buytaert, waqalisa zombini iiprojekthi. Kodwa ibali ngokwenene lilula kakhulu. Ngo-2001, i-Buytaert ikhulule i-Drupal njenge-software evulekile. Ukususela ngoko, yena kunye namanye amawaka baye basebenzela ukwenza iDrupal ibe yinye yeeCMS eziphezulu emhlabeni.
Ungayilanda, usebenzise, kwaye uguqule i-Drupal, kunye namawaka eemodyuli zeDrupal, ngokupheleleyo mahhala.
Imbali ye-Acquia
Ngo-2007, emva kweminyaka emininzi yokuphuhlisa iDrupal ngexesha lakhe elithile, i-Buytaert yamemezela ukuba uqalise inkampani yaseDrupal: Acquia. Wayekufutshane nokuphela kwee-PhD izifundo zakhe, kwaye wagqiba ekubeni enze umdla wakhe weDrupal ibe yimpilo:
Ngoko yintoni ekhoyo? Zizinto ezimbini: (i) inkampani endixhasayo ekunikezeni ubunkokheli kuluntu lwaseDrupal ... kunye (ii) nenkampani echitshiyayo iBuntu okanye i-RedHat kwiLuxux. Ukuba sifuna ukuba iDrupal ikhule ubuncinane ubunzima be-10, ukugcina iDrupal iprojekthi yokuzilibazisa njengoko kunjalo nanamhlanje, kwaye ukuthatha umsebenzi wokuqhelanisa rhoqo kwibhanki enkulu yaseBelgium kuyacaca ukuba ayiyi kunqumla.
Namhlanje, iAququia inikeza uxube lweenkonzo zeDrupal. Ngokucacileyo, i-Acquia ayizange ifake i-Drupal kwisofthiwe eselungileyo. Njengo-Buytaert uthi:
I-Acquia ayiyi kuhoxisa okanye i-Drupal-source source.
Endaweni yoko, i-Acquia inikezela ngeenkonzo ze-Drupal, njenge-Drupal ehambelanayo, ukufudukela kwi-Drupal, inkxaso kunye noqeqesho.
Ngokwemvelo, i-Acquia isebenzisa ezinye zeenkwenkwezi zamatye kwilizwe laseDrup. Ezi ziintlobo zabantu abaye bancedisa ukuhambisa iNdlu ye-White okanye i- Economist kumawebhusayithi aDrupal.
Kodwa i-Acquia iphinda ithengise uphuhliso oluqhelekileyo lweDrupal kwaye ikhuphe lo msebenzi kummandla.
Ngokomzekelo, unokukhupha ngokukhululekileyo i-Acquia Dev Deskrini kwaye usebenzise ii-Drupal sites kwi-Windows yakho okanye kwi-computer yakho ye-Mac. Iimodyuli ezininzi ezininzi zama-drupal.org zigcinwa yi-Acquia. Zibuye zilandelelanise iimpazamo ezininzi zeDrupal, ezifana (yebo) I-Acquia Drupal.
Ngoko xa ubona "I-Acquia Drupal", akuthethi ukuba u-Acquia ubanga "uqobo" kwiDrupal, okanye ukuba bafake inguqu ekhethekileyo yeDrupal ofuna ukukhathazeka ngayo. Kunoko, unokonwabela ukuphumelela kwe-Buytaert kokuphuhliswa kokubakho kwiprojekti yamahhala, evulekileyo kunye nokwenza ubomi obuhle kuyo.
