DrupalCon Denver 2012: GETTING OVER NIH: TAKING IDEAS AND CODE FROM OTHER PROJECTS
About this talk
This talk explores Drupal's historical reluctance to adopt external code and ideas, a phenomenon often referred to as NIH syndrome. The speaker examines instances where Drupal has successfully incorporated external technologies such as KSES, jQuery, and components of Symfony, discussing the reasons behind these decisions. The session also considers additional areas for potential collaboration and inspiration from other projects, highlighting the lessons that can be learned. Finally, the talk addresses the broader implications this cultural shift may have on the Drupal community and its underlying philosophy.
