The Drupal.org family of websites is home to thousands of developers and contributed projects. It's where we all collaborate on making the Drupal software, documentation, translations, and community better, and where our users find the projects and support that they need to make awesome Drupal-based websites. A better Drupal.org makes for a better Drupal and a more effective community.

The Drupal Association funds a professional infrastructure team, which maintains the hardware and software the Drupal.org sites run on. You can also help improve the site! There are several areas you can to contribute to:

  • Content: The Drupal.org Content team moderates the Services, Training and Books sections of the Marketplace; decides on Case studies, Planet Drupal, and Front page promotion requests; and creates and edits other non-documentation content on the main drupal.org web site. (For documentation content, see Contribute to Documentation.)
  • Maintenance: Site maintainers deal with spam on the entire Drupal.org family of web sites, provide support for users having problems with their accounts or projects, deal with project ownership requests, and work on general site organization issues.
  • Code: Coding community members develop new features and sections of the Drupal.org family of sites, improve existing functionality, and improve the look of the site by contributing to the Bluecheese theme.
