Over the last few weeks, the Marketplace Initiative has been mapping assumptions, surfacing motivations, and exploring real-world expectations for a Drupal Site Template Marketplace. The initial rounds of feedback were designed to surface motivations, beliefs, unknowns, and frame what success might mean. That work has helped ground the initiative in shared purpose and direction.

Now we’re starting the work of transforming those broad ambitions into working models of value, governance, trust, and experience. We're beginning to sketch what the Marketplace does, how it creates and protects value, and what contributors and users can expect from it.

Why a Drupal Site Template Marketplace?

Across survey feedback, community prompts, and RTC themes, several consistent value propositions have emerged — answering the question: Why build a Drupal site template Marketplace?

EXT. SESAME STREET

A group of children stand in the middle of Sesame Street. There are no cars because owning a car is a crime punishable by death. The children take turns injecting each other with puberty blockers—the only activity children are allowed to do in this fifteen-minute city. Big Bird enters wearing assless chaps. The children see Big Bird and run over, excitedly. Big Bird lights ten cigarettes in his beak and hands one to each child.

BIG BIRD: Remember, kids, there is no God. There is only the crushing weight of existence.

Want to hear something interesting? If you’re a messaging app trying to market yourself as the “gold standard of private communications," the last thing you want is to be in the news every day because some Fox News host is too dumb to understand how privacy works. That’s just a little free info from me, Signal, the messaging app you’ve probably been reading about lately thanks to a bunch of high-level government pinheads who think that the MMR vaccine is composed of fetus debris and gay powder.

Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.
