This document discusses the Drupal distribution Panopoly. It provides an overview of how Panopoly benefits site builders by offering pre-configured functions, layouts, entity types and field types. It also discusses how Panopoly benefits content editors by allowing landing pages to be built without IT involvement and improving the editor experience. Additionally, the document notes some potential issues with Panopoly, such as it sometimes being buggy for specific site building tasks and missing certain modules.

The thing with distributions…
Great for exploring a topic.
Awesome for pitching Drupal projects.
But:
When used in a production environment, Drupal distros
are often too “demoish” and overloaded with functions.
Plus:
Theming Drupal core can be painful.
Theming a Drupal distribution is a nightmare.
