DrupalCon Portland 2013: IS DRUPAL A CMS?

This talk explores the critical distinction emerging for Drupal between being a Content Management System (CMS) and a Web Publishing Tool (WPT). The speaker discusses how these two perspectives represent fundamentally different approaches to Drupal's purpose and user targeting, emphasizing that neither viewpoint is inherently wrong. By examining initiatives like SCOTCH and Spark, the session aims to clarify these disconnections and frame the discussion around them rather than allow it to devolve into conflict. Ultimately, the talk seeks to foster a collaborative understanding of what constitutes a "Decoupled CMS" and how Drupal can effectively address the needs of both CMS and WPT users.
