Ask not only what your Drupal can do for you, ask what you can do for your Drupal - Martin Mayer
1. Welcome
It’s really the Drupal community
and not so much the software
that makes the Drupal project what it is.
So fostering the Drupal community is
actually more important than just
managing the code base.
