In 2000, where ADSL was still very expensive, two students enrolled in University of Antwerp (Belgium) Gamine Buytaert and Hans Snijder shared their academic networks with wireless networks (because of the cheaper Learning Network). This is really a good beginning to share and discuss with each other.
So Gamine had some inspiration and started to design a simple intranet discussion board so that friends could come up and talk to each other (like our BBS).

Before that, there was no name for the program until after Gamine graduated, the members of the community who were active on the board wanted to move things from the intranet to the Internet so they could keep in touch without being disconnected by graduation. So when gamine registered domain name, they found a name that was right for them,--dorp.org--, to be contacted on the internet in the future. Dorp for Dutch Sanlitun, in fact, very consistent with the nature of their small community website.

When the dorp.org came online, the authors who published the article also began to discuss different topics, like voting (moderation is actually a regulation mechanism, the process of using Drupal as an article scoring line), rating, article subscriptions, and decentralized registration systems ( Drupal currently supports an ID that is common to various Drupal stations. Dorp.org slowly into a personal experiment environment, and the above many ideas and discussions, eventually in the dorp.org station to achieve 1.1 points.
In the January of 2001, Gamine intended to share his results and release the software in a wiki (GPL,GPL), allowing more people to extend and create different styles. and Drupal such name, in fact, pronounced as "Droo-puhl", he is Dutch Druppel, that is, English drop, the meaning of small water droplets.
Gamine sent emails to his friend Jeremy for the first time. Jeremy after looking very is a single clock, then with gamine work together to small water droplets.
