Community Features
The uniqueness of the system lies in the application of social software approaches. The all-together of content, the switch of topics, e.g. via articles, comments, Blogs or forums become the core of those approaches.
If you want to build a social network easily, preferably small to mid-sized communities, than Drupal has to be your choice. It’s better in the handling than other Content Management Systems. Helpful is its differentiation of roles and rights.
Extensibility of the System
As we’ve seen with Contao, the modular body of Drupal allows it to realize other functions with modules. Specific demands can be realized. It’s important for the administration and updates of the system, because it won’t interfere with the core system.
