- there are standards that help build the site
- more modules await in Drupal
- a lot can be done with modules
EXAMPLE : KRC (Korean Resource Center)
- Drupal code and modules
- RULE : don't hack core
- ADAPTIVE Theme is a good base theme, this can be built on
- Something about BackDrop

- simplifies some drupal functions
- DRUPAL 8 will improve its extensive multilingual functions
