00:00:00.409 --> 00:00:02.534
Thousands of open source contributors

00:00:02.534 --> 00:00:04.659
have worked for over 3 years to bring you

00:00:04.743 --> 00:00:06.384
Drupal 7,

00:00:06.415 --> 00:00:09.595
the most flexible and easy-to-use version of Drupal ever.

00:00:09.626 --> 00:00:12.415
Drupal already runs hundreds of thousands of websites,

00:00:12.431 --> 00:00:15.181
including some you probably already know.

00:00:15.827 --> 00:00:19.198
Many different types of businesses,

00:00:19.213 --> 00:00:21.538
government agencies,

00:00:21.538 --> 00:00:23.710
nonprofits,

00:00:23.710 --> 00:00:26.367
and individuals have all discovered

00:00:26.367 --> 00:00:29.933
that Drupal gives them the speed and power that they need

00:00:29.933 --> 00:00:32.276
in a free and easy-to-learn open-source package.

00:00:32.276 --> 00:00:39.067
Now Drupal 7 introduces usability improvements such as a simplified installer,

00:00:39.067 --> 00:00:43.467
a toolbar and shortcut bar that keeps often-used commands close at hand,

00:00:43.467 --> 00:00:46.779
reorganized Content, Users, and Configuration screens,

00:00:46.779 --> 00:00:50.090
and much, much more.

00:00:50.090 --> 00:00:54.344
Drupal 7 also has dozens of improvements for developers and system administrators

00:00:54.344 --> 00:00:57.349
such as a flexible new field system,

00:00:57.349 --> 00:01:01.492
better update and maintenance procedures,

00:01:01.492 --> 00:01:05.303
and ways to connect Drupal to just about any database you can find.

00:01:05.303 --> 00:01:09.446
Drupal can be used to create a wide variety of different types of websites.

00:01:09.446 --> 00:01:13.967
Drupal Core has the ability to add new content types

00:01:13.967 --> 00:01:17.177
and add custom text, images, or file fields

00:01:17.177 --> 00:01:19.923
to content or even users.

00:01:19.923 --> 00:01:22.709
Drupal's extensive taxonomy system allows you

00:01:22.709 --> 00:01:25.200
to create flexible organization of your content

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.415
based on categories or tags.

00:01:27.415 --> 00:01:31.000
With an energized and fast-growing developer community

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.459
and thousands of free add-on modules to choose from,

00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:35.902
it's easy to extend Drupal

00:01:35.902 --> 00:01:38.587
with functionality such as message boards,

00:01:38.587 --> 00:01:40.182
photo galleries,

00:01:40.182 --> 00:01:42.205
audio and video management,

00:01:42.205 --> 00:01:44.107
date and calendar management,

00:01:44.137 --> 00:01:45.642
geolocation,

00:01:45.642 --> 00:01:47.232
rating systems,

00:01:47.232 --> 00:01:49.051
e-commerce,

00:01:49.051 --> 00:01:51.023
and the list goes on and on.
