This group's creation is the result of a growing need in the community. The history isn't as important as the desires of a number of Drupal administrators/content editors to find a way to share issues, resolve questions, support each other and learn more about administering Drupal sites in the process.
Several people have been instrumental in the creation of this group: Michelle, Kronda Adair, Fanaile, Arianek, David Hernandez and more. I became involved after I began answering questions (though I'm not at all an expert) about Drupal site administration and realized that there was a need for sharing of experience, after answering questions on StackOverflow, LinkedIn, DC Web Women, etc.
Once we have answered some of each others' questions, it is my hope and intention to find a home for the knowledge on Drupal.org
I also thought we might create a wiki page to get the process rolling, and to keep track of our progress.
What drew you here?
