Contribution

Drupal core, modules, and themes are not even possible without developers contributing their efforts. As an open-source project, Drupal has managed to attract a large number of contributors throughout the globe. These community members provide complementary ideas, build new Drupal projects, create bugs, submit fixes, write documentation, give talks at events, and more. These contributions have helped Drupal become one of the most established open-source projects—a project with longevity and one that continues to be relevant. Without the community, there would be no Drupal. It also emphasizes the importance of Drupal adopters finding ways to give back.

Community contributions will be covered in much greater detail in Chapter 4.
