Drupal Advent Calendar 2024: Introducing Starshot and the New Drupal CMS
James Shields returns with the Drupal Advent Calendar, kicking off this year’s series by introducing "Starshot," a transformative initiative to make Drupal more accessible and user-friendly. Announced by Drupal founder Dries Buytaert at DrupalCon Portland in April 2024, Starshot proposes a new default installation, Drupal CMS, scheduled for release in January 2025, with a beta debut at DrupalCon Singapore later this month. Key features include pre-configured tools for blogging, event management, and SEO, alongside an AI assistant to simplify site-building tasks. Additional enhancements, such as automatic updates, a Project Browser for add-ons, an improved dashboard, revamped administration menus, and front-end theming via Experience Builder, aim to reduce reliance on custom coding. James expresses hope that Drupal CMS will empower individual developers and small-scale site builders, making Drupal’s powerful tools more accessible beyond enterprise-level users.
