Drupal is an open source content management platform supporting a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites. For more information, visit the Drupal website, [Drupal.org][Drupal.org], and join the [Drupal community][Drupal community]. ## Contributing Drupal is developed on [Drupal.org][Drupal.org], the home of the international Drupal community since 2001! [Drupal.org][Drupal.org] hosts Drupal's [GitLab repository][GitLab repository], its [issue queue][issue queue], and its [documentation][documentation]. Before you start working on code, be sure to search the [issue queue][issue queue] and create an issue if your aren't able to find an existing issue. Every issue on Drupal.org automatically creates a new community-accessible fork that you can contribute to. Learn more about the code contribution process on the [Issue forks & merge requests page][issue forks]. ## Usage For a brief introduction, see [USAGE.txt](/core/USAGE.txt). You can also find guides, API references, and more by visiting Drupal's [documentation page][documentation]. You can quickly extend Drupal's core feature set by installing any of its [thousands of free and open source modules][modules]. With Drupal and its module ecosystem, you can often build most or all of what your project needs before writing a single line of code. ## Changelog Drupal keeps detailed [change records][changelog]. You can search Drupal's changes for a record of every notable breaking change and new feature since 2011. ## Security For a list of security announcements, see the [Security advisories page][Security advisories] (available as [an RSS feed][security RSS]). This page also describes how to subscribe to these announcements via email.
