#D7CX - Off to strong start
#D7CX is a new movement in Drupal. It stands for Drupal 7 Contrib Experience. 95 module maintainers have pledged that their modules will be released by the time Drupal 7 is released. To join the movement or learn more, see the #D7CX announcement blog post.
I’m so excited about the uptake on #D7CX. 95 modules is is an amazing number. Check out this link which sorts by usage activity. 10 out of the top 20 modules are on board already. #D7CX is all about the minor modules too. Please join the movement even if your module only has a handful of active sites.
We are now just two weeks before code freeze for Drupal 7. It would be great if a few more some more heroic module maintainers did preliminary upgrades right now. That way, we can make significant changes to D7 if its API is found lacking or inconsistent.
Even if you can’t start today, I encourage folks to join a code sprint in order to port your modules in a fun, collaborative atmosphere. Both code sprints at Drupalcon Paris will heavily feature #D7CX upgrading. In addition, NowPublic is hosting a #D7CX sprint on October 17 in Vancouver. I know that I will be hosting sprints at MIT in Cambridge during September/October. I’m looking forward to seeing more such sprints around the world.
Drupal 7 has been 2 years in the making and represents a massive improvement in almost all aspects of Drupal. I really think it will establish Drupal as the default choice for content management. #D7CX is an important part of that goal. We help make the launch story strong. We help assure good reviews in the crucial early months. We help assure a fast, steady stream of new and upgraded sites on Drupal 7. These are fun times.
