/drupal

Drupal is a free and open source content management framework written in PHP. Rather than shipping a finished website, it provides a modular core — nodes, fields, users, taxonomy and a hook-based extension system — that contributed modules and themes build upon.

What has always made Drupal interesting to me is that it is a framework first and a CMS second: almost everything is a hook away from being changed, which is a blessing when requirements get exotic and a curse when a site grows a module list nobody remembers approving. The trade-off shows up most clearly in the operational details — how you organise multisite installations, how much you lean on caching, and which tooling you keep close at hand.
