[development] how to start a drupal like project

[Kyle Mathews]

One other option -- Drupal is open source of course. You're welcome to
borrow code from Drupal or any of the other innumerable php frameworks out
there. But like the others said, are you sure you can't build what you want
on Drupal -- it'd save you gobs of time provided there's not some fatal
incompatibility.
