Hinweis der Redaktion
- University of Antwerp –set up small networking news site.When they graduated, they wanted to keep it so they had to create and register the site. They wanted to call it “dorp” – meaning village in Dutch- but a typo caused it to be drop.org instead.The audience grew, talking about technologies and involving personal experimentation involving the software running the site. Eventually Dries decided to release this software so more people could explore more development paths. He called it Drupal which is from a Dutch word meaning drop.The little mascot is called a druplicon, which is a stylised version of a drop.

- Component that defines how the pages on your site are structured and the visual aspects of your page.
- Drush is a command line shell and scripting interface for Drupal, a veritable Swiss Army knife designed to make life easier for those of us who spend some of our working hours hacking away at the command prompt.Cache:To create a page Drupal needs to make several database queries. This can slow down websites with a lot of traffic. To make the website faster Drupal can store web pages in cache. You may need to clear caches after moving your site from one host to another. Also useful when you install new modules or for troubleshooting things. It is relatively harmless. Your site might slow down a bit after-wards while the cache fills back up.
