Drupal Gardens is Acquia's forthcoming “Drupal-as-a-service” offering, based on pre- released Drupal 7 code. Acquia, the main commercial company behind Drupal, is planning to release the service officially later in 2010. 

My colleague Adriaan Bloem has produced a short briefing answering two important questions that have emerged around Gardens:

1. Is it oriented more towards simpler use cases like blogging, or more complex services that make up traditional websites and community platforms?

2. Does it target Drupal novices, experts, or neither?

Web CMS and Collaboration & Community stream subscribers can download the Gardens advisory briefing here.
