Top Shelf Modules

What We Do

We see a need for a business solution to support module maintainers. We see the ecosystem of modules in flux: abandoned, unfinished, buggy, unmanaged and a crew of discouraged, tired and unpaid maintainers. One of Drupal's main strengths is the power, compatability and number of modules available. We assert that higher quality standards will benefit everyone and improve Drupal's adoption rate and customer retention.

We have a solid strategy for monetizing open-source that does not alter the nature of our open-source community; it's tricky to do. First we specialize in module development.

We target module projects. We provide architecture, project management and QA. We hire the contrib community for the development work. In exchange, each module produced in this manner is created to new, higher standard. Maintainers CRAFT a quality module, go the extra mile and CURATE them. When the module passes review, they CONTRIBUTE them back to Drupal.org. These modules receive a TSM Quality badge for their work.

Drupal core without contrib is like a Ferrari without wheels; contrib is literally where the rubber meets the road. We get maintainers earning a professional living writing modules. Let's start by polishing up our current modules to higher standards.
