I'd love to hear others comment on how the Drupal community compares to other Open Source projects?
I've been involved in the Drupal community and it's run very well, the community in general are very patient and always willing to help new users get started.
How old is this article? The bit on thresholds? Yeah, they are WAY over thresholds and in fact Dries has admitted the thresholds system doesn't actually work. Also they're about 2 years behind on Drupal 8.
