Drupal Garden comes into the light

September 4, 2009:Attendees at Drupalcon Paris 2009, the user convention for devotees of the open source Drupal CMS, were this week treated to a preview of the software-as-a-service version due for launch in the first half of 2010.

Based on the forthcoming drupal 7, Drupal Gardens is being developed by Acquia, the company founded to provide robust support capability for drupal.

“Simplicity is at the heart of Drupal Gardens’ value proposition and its easy-to-use features such as the Theme Builder are a critical component,” said Dries Buytaert, CTO and Founder of Acquia.

“Drupal Gardens will be a significant growth accelerator for the Drupal community overall, extending its reach to anyone who is looking for a beautiful web site to build thriving communities.”
