OpenKnowledgebase Beta 1 - try the knowledge base for people and AI agents now! jeremy.chinqui… Wed, 23 Sep 2026 - 17:56 The first public beta is out: the knowledge base for people and AI agents. Agents edit as governed collaborators, every answer cites the block it came from, and all of it is open source.

A complex public healthcare platform can put Drupal at the centre of governance without making it responsible for identity, workflows, messaging, observability or the frontend.

Sharing Drupal code across country sites does not sync product specifications, documents, or company claims.

Drupal multisite vs multilingual teams must decide where authoritative facts live before AI assistants encounter contradictory pages. Maciej Lukianski compares multisite, one multilingual Drupal, and Domain Access for market-aware publishing.

Eight Posts on the Fun Part. One on the Bill. Photo by Kamil Foatov on Unsplash Jürgen Haas Wed 23 Sep 2026 - 15:00

In Post 8 I described my monthly billing run. One client never gets an invoice: the Drupal community, which has had almost all of my working time since July 2025. This post is that invoice. The eight posts before it showed the fun part: the Modeler API, the Workflow Modeler, test and replay, the ECA Guide, orchestration. This one shows the ledger underneath: 87 actively maintained drupal.org projects, the Gin admin theme, the Admin theme subsystem in core, 293 public projects on the LakeDrops GitLab, a calendar of weekly and monthly community meetings, two DrupalCons a year. Innovation gets applause; maintenance gets a green badge. Every funding conversation so far was about a feature. Nobody has offered to sponsor a security release. Since July 2025 the revenue has been zero, paid for by earlier years. Dries' cost-allocation posts explain why. The menu at the end has prices: sponsor maintenance through Open Collective, a service agreement, hiring for ECA work, funding the next innovation. Total: roughly €10,000 a month.

Useful Drupal work does not reach wider audiences automatically. The September Townhall explores where community participation can help.

Estonia has several development partners with strong Drupal experience, but they are not directly interchangeable. Building a large new digital platform, maintaining an existing Drupal website and taking over a legacy project require different kinds of teams. The first step in choosing the right partner is to define the problem you actually need to solve. Who provides Drupal development in Estonia? Drupal development in Estonia is provided by both larger full-service software companies and smaller specialist teams. Based on public service pages, references, Drupal.org profiles and public procurement records from recent years, visible providers include ADM Interactive, Trinidad Wiseman, Web Expert, Krabu Grupp and Krabu Tech, Mearra, Limegrow, Revelan and WebPro. This is not a ranking…

A partner-managed website is not a problem as long as your company can take control of all critical access and assets when needed. Gaps usually become visible only when you need to change developers or restore the website quickly. Your company may own the domain while someone else controls access The first things to check are the domain and DNS. Your company should know who the domain is registered to, where it is managed and which email address receives renewal notices and other important messages. The same applies to DNS. If only the current development partner or a former employee can access it, even a simple server migration can become difficult. DNS can affect services beyond the website, so records should not be changed blindly during a partner transition. The point is not that a…

What should an agency return to the open-source ecosystem it relies on? Zoocha’s answer connects community investment with harder questions about AI accountability and Drupal’s ability to explain its value beyond familiar audiences.

Two shifts are converging in how Drupal pages get built. The first has already arrived: Drupal Canvas, Drupal's new visual page builder, gives editors a modern, component-based way to compose pages. The second is happening across the broader industry: AI that generates pages from natural-language prompts.

The Enterprise AI Summit takes place in one week, on 28 September aboard the SS Rotterdam, and the countdown is a good moment to properly introduce a session that's been on the agenda for a while: sovereign AI with Julien Blanchez.

Digital sovereignty has moved from a policy discussion into a boardroom question. Regulators, procurement teams and public sector organisations are asking the same thing in different ways: can we use world-class AI technology while keeping control over where our data lives, who can access it, and under what conditions?

With over a decade at Google working on data protection, security and digital sovereignty for large, highly regulated organisations, Julien will walk us through what's driving rising sovereignty expectations and how to keep access to leading AI technology on your own terms.

He joins a day full of similar questions answered with real numbers. The European Personnel Selection Office deployed a RAG-powered instant answer engine inside Drupal in under eight weeks, running in all 24 EU official languages, with 90% fewer repeat support questions and zero hallucinations on manual review. The American Diabetes Association will share what happened when editorial teams got real AI tools in their hands, including the honest lessons that came with it. And Moritz Arendt takes on a question that sits right next to Julien's: can AI strengthen digital communities, or does it risk hollowing them out?

With just days left, there’s still time to check the full agenda and save your seat. Tickets and details are available on the Enterprise AI Summit page.

Choosing a CMS for a multilingual product catalogue is a content-operations decision, not a plugin shootout.

Drupal vs WordPress enterprise teams must compare field-level translation, moderation, entity APIs, and AI-ready outputs before assistants read conflicting specs. Maciej Lukianski explains when WordPress still wins, when Drupal fits connected complexity, and how to pilot migration without guessing.

The 2025 recruitment drive added maintainers across a dozen vacancy areas, but Drupal core’s current roster shows how later departures and module changes have altered that picture.

Your Drupal government website needs to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2027. Here's what's in scope, how Drupal helps, and how to plan your government site's remediation.

Drupack: Drupal infrastructure in a single binary

A few years ago I said Drupal needed infrastructure innovation, and I finally took the time to do something about it. While I really like DDEV, I'm really not a fan of having to use Docker for everything so I'm trying to do something about it.
