[documentation] Some thoughts

[liza]

so you are saying that Drupal has no developers to set up sites that have a
baseline distribution of modules against which new entries can be tested?

oh ... ok.

and as to the $$ issue: Firefox has money because it wasn't the geeks
deciding what was a product good enough for marketing and brokering funding
deals like the one they have/had with Google.

a libertarian free for all is never going to get you anywhere. you need a
modicum of  a business structure, even as an open-source project like
Drupal, to be able to make some money.

case in point: WordPress
