Drupal is shifting the starting point of site building—from blank installs to structured foundations. Announced at DrupalCon Chicago, the Site Template Marketplace pilot introduces templates that go beyond design, bundling content models, editorial workflows, and configurations aligned to real-world sectors such as government and higher education. If executed well, this could reduce upfront architecture work and make Drupal projects more predictable from the outset—though questions remain regarding packaging, versioning, and long-term support as the marketplace evolves. #Drupal #OpenSource #WebDev #CMS
