One of the biggest benefits of an open-source community like Drupal is the ability to collaborate with fantastic people that you wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to work with. However, when you have an idea that you think would be a good initiative for a Drupal core release (such as Drupal 9) you might find yourself thinking: "How do I even begin? How can I advocate for my idea?” We all find ourselves asking these questions as we navigate the complex journey of turning an idea into a core initiative.
