The S4S Collaboration Workspace is built upon a widely-used Open Source platform called Drupal (www.drupal.org). Drupal's mission is: Support and enhance the potential of the Internet as a medium where diverse and geographically-separated individuals and groups can collectively produce, discuss, and share information and ideas. With a central interest in and focus on communities and collaboration, Drupal's flexibility allows the collaborative production of online information systems and communities.
