Drupal is known to be geeky (read hard) for casual CMS users. drupal是已知是乏味的（阅读硬）散细胞质雄性不育的用户。 Drupal was all set to change its geeky image with a super cool theme - drupal是所有设置为改变其乏味的形象，与一个超级酷的主题- Garland加兰 . 。 WordPress.com’s founder Matt Mullenweg asked for free help in porting this special theme to WordPress from the WordPress hacker’s community. wordpress.com奇摩创始人马特mullenweg要求免费帮助在移植这个特殊主题的WordPress从在WordPress黑客的社区。 It was generally perceived as a bad idea in the mailing list.这是一般被看作是一个坏主意在邮寄名单。 However he went ahead and ported it with the help of one of his employees.不过他到前面和移植，它借助他的一名雇员。

Matt also asked for permission from Steven Wittens, one of the key developers of this theme.马特还要求允许由史蒂芬wittens ，其中一个关键发展这个主题。 He replied, while acknowledging the GPL nature of the theme, with:他回答说，同时承认GPL的性质，主题，与：

From this point of view, if Wordpress or Wordpress.com were to make the Garland theme available, it would be a direct hit to our goals, especially because it’s going to take us a couple of weeks to get our final Drupal 5.0 release out the door and really get the buzz flowing.从这个角度来看，如果在WordPress或wordpress.com分别作出加兰的主题，这将是一个直接的打击我们的目标，特别是因为它的会采取我们几个星期，以获得我们的最后drupal 5.0版本走出大门，并真正流行的流动。 And then, weeks or even months to see the spread of Garland-themed Drupal sites.然后，几周甚至几个月看到的蔓延加兰为主题的drupal网站。

He never got a reply to this email.他从来没有得到回复此电子邮件。 In在…内 his words他的话 : ：

I never got a reply or any sort of news about it, until Gerhard pasted me the link to the Wordpress.com announcement.我从来没有得到答复或任何形式的消息，直到总理贴上我连接到wordpress.com公布。 My immediate reaction was disappointment.我的即时反应是令人失望的。 If Wordpress.com serves up Garland before we do, all hope of promoting it as an original Drupal style is pretty much flushed down the drain.如果wordpress.com提供了花环之前，我们做什么，都希望促进它作为原始drupal作风，是非常冲入付诸流水。

I’m also disappointed that they did such a poor job: Elements are missing or badly styled, the positioning and spacing is off too and they didn’t even credit Stefan Nagtegaal in the footer.我也感到失望，他们没有这样的穷人的工作：分子遗失或严重风格，定位和生育间隔，是小康太多，他们甚至没有信用斯特凡nagtegaal在页脚。

Matt responded to the criticism with:马特回应批评：
“WordPress has done a lot for putting hundreds and hundreds of themes out there under the GPL, and I’ve always encouraged folks to port them for other systems as it raises the quality of Open Source design throughout the ecosystem.” “在WordPress已做了很多工作，为把数百名和数以百计的主题有GPL下，我总是鼓励乡亲，以港口为其他系统，因为它引起的质量开放源代码设计的整个生态系统” 。

The reality is that it is mostly the unpaid theme developers who developed these themes for WordPress.现实情况是，这是大多是无酬的主题，发展商谁开发，这些主题在WordPress 。

While technically Matt hasn’t done anything wrong as the code is GPL’ed, I think it is not fair to copy and release a theme which had been solely designed to be at the forefront of branding of a competitive product, and subvert Drupal’s branding efforts.而马特在技术上已没有这样做是错误的，因为代码是gpl'ed ，我认为这是不公平的复制并释放出一个主题，已完全设计，可以在最前列的品牌有竞争力的产品，和颠覆drupal ' s品牌的努力。

I hope Matt reconsiders his decision and either doesn’t release the theme of gives Drupal at least a 6 months lead.我希望马特重新考虑他的决定，并且不释放的主题，让drupal至少6个月的带头作用。

BTW: The most beautiful part about the的BTW ：最美丽的一部分，有关 Graland theme graland主题 is the color chooser which allows you to choose colors with a Adobe Photoshop like chooser designed in pure Javascript.是的颜色选择，这可让您选择的颜色与Adobe Photoshop来设计一样，选择在纯的JavaScript 。
