I’ve been working on a few new Drupal projects this fall, as well as a WordPress site, and they’ve led me to ruminate a bunch about standards and best practices, and why they’re extra important for the kinds of nonprofits I serve.

Okay, maybe not world domination. But at least some serious progress toward some really usable, community-developed technology. That's a big deal. I feel like Drupal and WordPress are hitting their stride more and more. It's getting easier to build sites on a budget that orgs can mostly manage and update themselves. I've been building proprietary and open source CMS sites for nonprofits for over a decade, and I feel like right now, CMS technology is particularly accessible.
