Why so hard though? • Drupal is not a CMS
• Drupal is a CMF
http://www.palantir.net/blog/drupal-not-cms
The disconnect is that Drupal is not a Content Management System (CMS), nor has it been one for some time. Drupal is a Content Management Framework (CMF), from which you can build a CMS tailored specifically for your needs.
- Larry “Vest” Garfield

2008, D6 2009)
• Engaging student art communities (Open Studio 2010)
• Document sharing intranets (Open Atrium 2010)
• Accessibility, copyright, transcription automation (ELMS Media 2011)
• And yes, front facing, normal, websites
