The Drupal Site Template Marketplace MVP proposal is now live for community review through 13 July 2025 in the Innovation Issue Queue.
After hundreds of community voices contributed through surveys, Slack, and Real-Time Collaboration sessions, this MVP reflects what we’ve heard: a trusted, flexible, and contributor-friendly ecosystem is possible—if we design it thoughtfully.
What’s in the MVP?
This Minimum Valuable Product (MVP) is a structured experiment targeted for launch at DrupalCon Chicago 2026. Key features include:
Republicans stumble in their war on the poor, a big state opens its mind, citizens take on dark money, and a prescription emerges for pharma profiteering.
Iranian American author Hooman Majd on the Israel–Iran ceasefire, Trump’s role in escalating the conflict, and whether diplomacy can survive.

Da liegt die bang bis hoffnungsvoll gestellte Frage nahe: Gibt es Wohlstand auch ohne Wachstum? Und die erste, die knappe Antwort der Ökonomen lautet: Nein. Auf Dauer gibt es in unserem System keinen allgemeinen Wohlstand, ohne dass die Wirtschaft wächst. Auch wenn sie stagniert, geht der Wettbewerb im Inneren weiter, weil der Kapitalismus nicht einfach […]
We’re excited to announce that a draft Drupal Site Template MVP Marketplace proposal will be released next week for public comment. This version outlines a clear Minimum Valuable Product (MVP) focused on early value, sustainability, and trust.
But first — here’s a look at what’s been shaping the direction of this proposal.
The Business Model Canvas: A Snapshot
To help align on strategy and priorities for the Site Template Marketplace, the Working Group created a Business Model Canvas—a simple tool that breaks down the core elements of how the Marketplace can deliver value and remain sustainable. The Working Group landed on an MVP model that centers:

So there I was, minding my own business, when, for some inexplicable reason, I found myself idly thinking about the fall of the Romanov dynasty. For the life of me, I can’t tell you what led me to reflect on the moment when Nicholas II lost control over a once-burgeoning empire due to widespread unrest that he himself had a hand in shaping. Maybe it’s the weather? Maybe those barometric pressure changes can lead to more than just headaches?
But it’s kind of weird, right? Why would my mind make me recall that the Russian Revolution was largely ignited by a devastating economic crisis, social inequality, and the ruling class being aggressively out of touch with the suffering masses? It just makes no sense for me to be thinking of a bunch ruling-class assholes enriching themselves through, if not illegal, then definitely immoral ways, while everyone else has to buy tacos on payment plans.
