Drupal is known to be geeky (read hard) for casual CMS users. drupal是已知是乏味的（閱讀硬）散細胞質雄性不育的用戶。 Drupal was all set to change its geeky image with a super cool theme - drupal是所有設置為改變其乏味的形象，與一個超級酷的主題- Garland加蘭 . 。 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奇摩創始人馬特mullenweg要求免費幫助在移植這個特殊主題的WordPress從在WordPress黑客的社區。 It was generally perceived as a bad idea in the mailing list.這是一般被看作是一個壞主意在郵寄名單。 However he went ahead and ported it with the help of one of his employees.不過他到前面和移植，它借助他的一名僱員。

Matt also asked for permission from Steven Wittens, one of the key developers of this theme.馬特還要求允許由史蒂芬wittens ，其中一個關鍵發展這個主題。 He replied, while acknowledging the GPL nature of the theme, with:他回答說，同時承認GPL的性質，主題，與：

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.從這個角度來看，如果在WordPress或wordpress.com分別作出加蘭的主題，這將是一個直接的打擊我們的目標，特別是因為它的會採取我們幾個星期，以獲得我們的最後drupal 5.0版本走出大門，並真正流行的流動。 And then, weeks or even months to see the spread of Garland-themed Drupal sites.然後，幾週甚至幾個月看到的蔓延加蘭為主題的drupal網站。

He never got a reply to this email.他從來沒有得到回复此電子郵件。 In在…內 his words他的話 : ：

I never got a reply or any sort of news about it, until Gerhard pasted me the link to the Wordpress.com announcement.我從來沒有得到答复或任何形式的消息，直到總理貼上我連接到wordpress.com公佈。 My immediate reaction was disappointment.我的即時反應是令人失望的。 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提供了花環之前，我們做什麼，都希望促進它作為原始drupal作風，是非常衝入付諸流水。

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，他們沒有這樣的窮人的工作：分子遺失或嚴重風格，定位和生育間隔，是小康太多，他們甚至沒有信用斯特凡nagtegaal在頁腳。

Matt responded to the criticism with:馬特回應批評：
“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，為把數百名和數以百計的主題有GPL下，我總是鼓勵鄉親，以港口為其他系統，因為它引起的質量開放源代碼設計的整個生態系統” 。

The reality is that it is mostly the unpaid theme developers who developed these themes for WordPress.現實情況是，這是大多是無酬的主題，發展商誰開發，這些主題在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.而馬特在技術上已沒有這樣做是錯誤的，因為代碼是gpl'ed ，我認為這是不公平的複製並釋放出一個主題，已完全設計，可以在最前列的品牌有競爭力的產品，和顛覆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.我希望馬特重新考慮他的決定，並且不釋放的主題，讓drupal至少6個月的帶頭作用。

BTW: The most beautiful part about the的BTW ：最美麗的一部分，有關 Graland theme graland主題 is the color chooser which allows you to choose colors with a Adobe Photoshop like chooser designed in pure Javascript.是的顏色選擇，這可讓您選擇的顏色與Adobe Photoshop來設計一樣，選擇在純的JavaScript 。
