Not exactly a coding project either, is it? In my opinion the interface has got alot to say when users first are trying to get to know a CMS, and therein lies Joomlas forte, so if Drupal can improve their core interface I am sure that is to their advantage. They (Drupal) did however have some projects there that looked pretty interesting, and Google has found all those projects to be SoC material, so kudos to the Drupal community for that. $4500 to each of the students and $10000 to the organization behind Drupal. Not bad at all, considering there are templating jobs in there ;) I have no grudge against Drupal, but I agree with Brian on the template part. Not exactly a coding project either, is it?

And is developing a template really worthy of being a SoC project? Personaly I would go for quality over quantity every time. And is developing a template really worthy of being a SoC project?

It could very well be that Drupal has a better appeal to more technical users, while Joomla appeals more to the not-so-technical ones? Mambo and Joomla were both founded on the "power in simplicity" mantra, so this could be just what one was hoping for? Personally I work with Joomla, so I must admit I got a bit jealous when I saw the list of Drupal SoC projects :) Yeah.

What do you think?" In saying that, maybe you are mistaking 'community' with 'programmer community' ? All the best ! Hello Torkil,

“… even if Joomla has got a very large forum userbase, Drupal might have a more active community. What do you think?”

All the best !
