Standards proponents behind the Triptych Project are seeking support from large organisations that rely on Drupal, after Théodore Biadala, a Drupal core committer, highlighted the request in a 17 June 2026 post on Très Bien Tech. The proposal would add three HTML capabilities: PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods, button actions without forms, and partial page replacement. The Triptych Project site describes the effort as a way to make HTML more expressive for workflows that now often depend on JavaScript.

The request matters for Drupal because the Ajax subsystem now includes HTMX support, which Drupal.org records as introduced in the 11.3.x branch and version 11.3.0. Biadala wrote that standardising parts of the interaction model could remove “some messy code” from the BigPipe module, marginally simplify form processing, and reduce JavaScript in the admin frontend and contributed modules. The post does not provide Drupal-specific implementation examples for the Triptych proposal, so the potential effect should be treated as a technical direction rather than a measured outcome.

According to Biadala, Triptych Project contacts Alexander Petros and Carson Gross are seeking non-binding letters on official letterhead for a grant application connected to “Hypermedia Infrastructure for Industrial and Government Web Services.” The Triptych Project site identifies Petros and Gross as contacts and says the project is affiliated with the Montana State University Hypermedia Research Group. Biadala pointed interested organisations to the Drupal Slack channel, the HTMX Discord, and contact details on the Triptych Project website, naming large Drupal users such as European Union institutions, LocalGov Drupal, and GovCMS.
