<font face="Verdana">-1 for "hitchhikers" which sounds parasitic and
reveals a degree of contempt. Do we call readers of a book
"hitchhikers"? What about readers of a blog? Parasites? What about
visitors of a community park or drivers on a public highway?
"Hitchhikers"?<br>
<br>
Drupalers has been rather commonly used. Probably better than
Drupaloids, Drupalists, Drupalniks or Drupalicans. :p<br>

There is a perception problem here with the word "users" in that (based
on past discussions like this) core contributors tend to consider users
as anyone who uses the software and doesn't contribute directly back to
it. This includes a "Joe User" from somedrupalsite.com who uses the
software to post their daily blog entry, but it also includes "Joe Web
Administrator" who creates sites using Drupal as a tool. The latter
group does not consider themselves users, but website administrators.
So I think this needs to be more explicit.

What if we just called everyone "Drupalers" -- it sounds funny, but it
removes any connotation of type of user. What if it said, "Drupal
hitchhikers are everyday Drupalers..."
