Problem/Motivation
Currently, on the Drupal project page, we have the following description of Drupal:
Get started by downloading the official Drupal core files. These official releases come bundled with a variety of modules and themes to give you a good starting point to help build your site. Drupal core includes basic community features like blogging, forums, and contact forms, and can be easily extended by downloading other contributed modules and themes.
Proposed resolution
Drupal is an open source content management platform supporting a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites.
The core software provides the stable infrastructure for the Drupal content management platform. It includes site building tools to build content, design the layout and view content. Developers can take advantage of Drupal's extensive API, object-oriented PHP framework, Symfony components, and Composer-based workflow to alter and extend functionality. Theme and front-end developers can build templates with Twig templating and add custom CSS and JavaScript assets through the asset library system.
