Showcasing Drupal's Impact: Call for Research

Staff Reporter

In a blog post, Paul Johnson recently shared insights on the importance of demonstrating Drupal's impact to evaluators. Highlighting the significance of new organizations choosing Drupal for their digital services, Johnson emphasized the competitiveness of the CMS marketplace and the complexities involved in selecting the right platform. Providing evidence of successful implementations by peer organizations becomes crucial in reassuring evaluators.

While the Drupal community acknowledges its high adoption across various industry verticals, this information may not be readily available to evaluators. Johnson emphasized the need to showcase Drupal's effectiveness, particularly in government websites. He cited resources like "Global Cities Website Trends" by Grzegorz Pietrzak, which explores CMS usage across 466 cities worldwide, highlighting Drupal's prevalence. Additionally, he referenced "Mapping local gov CMS usage" by Collin Stenning, which discusses a LocalGov CMS Directory, as a valuable reference. Johnson stressed the importance of compiling a comprehensive list of Drupal-powered government websites at various levels (state, provincial, or national) as tangible evidence of Drupal's widespread adoption and suitability for governmental needs.
