“War is not healthy for children and other living things,” reads a poster titled “Primer” created by the late artist Lorraine Schneider for an art show at New York’s Pratt Institute in 1965. Printed in childlike lowercase letters, the words interspersed between the leaves of a simply rendered sunflower, it was an early response to America’s war in Vietnam. “She just wanted to make something that nobody could argue with,” recalled Schneider’s youngest daughter, Elisa Kleven, in an article published earlier this year.

These recipes will provide the functionality that is considered must-have in modern CMSes, as well as what is deemed essential for our target persona and improve the overall user experience.
We have been calling this the base recipe, which adds functionality on its own (e.g. installing the necessary core and contrib modules) and also selects other recipes to be applied by default. A while back we ran a survey to ask the community what features they felt were essential for the out-of-the-box offering and this has informed the inclusions.
