Make Drupal more accessible
I have first tried Drupal four years ago and it was difficult to understand content blocks, nodes etc. So i naturally gravitated to WordPress to run a few blogs.
While Drupal is more versatile and is easy to use now it is still not addressing the knowledge gap to reach out to enthusiasts. (read non techies but motivated learners)
Please consider using local meetups and online activities to make drupal easier to adopt. Local chapters can hold regular workshops to those who want to learn.
