We've written before about the projection that
Drupal, the powerful open source content management system (CMS),
may run more than 240,000 sites on the web by January of next year. OStatic runs on Drupal, as do many other well-known sites, including
The Onion and Fast Company. Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal,
has a post up on how
Zappos, an e-commerce web site with more than $1 billion in annual revenues, is using Drupal. The Drupal.org site also
has a case study up about how Zappos uses Drupal, which illustrates how flexible a platform it really is, and provides a lesson in how many sites using expensive proprietary CMS solutions could gradually transition to the many open source alternatives.
