What's up for Drupal 8?


The Drupal community is actively striving to improve Drupal each and every day. Many people have been hard at work on Drupal 8 since 2011. As mentioned previously, Gábor Hojtsy (drupal.org/user/4166) is heading up the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative (D8MI) with the number one goal to "make language support awesome in Drupal 8!"

If you review the D8MI plan and top priorities at hojtsy.hu/d8mi, you can see that there's plenty of work to do! You can help make Drupal 8 awesome. To get involved, check out the issue queue, hop on IRC for a meeting, or attend a code sprint.
