[documentation] Is Drupal right for you?

[Kim P. Werker]

Our plan is to work some more on this page, and to add a link at each  
profile to a page written just for them, including links relevant to  
the respective user type.

One of the things Dries stressed today at the OSCMS is the  
importance, going into the future, of developing user profiles and  
specialized distributions of Drupal. So down the line, we'll be able  
to point different types of users to distributions that are put  
together with users like them in mind.

Cheers,
Kim
