Which Way New Web Sites?
Mar. 4th, 2007 11:05 amOkay this looks like the week that was at last. Time for the showdowns between Joomla!, Drupal and perhaps....Plone.
Actually got a nice freebie offer of a home and setup for a Plone site or would likely cut the chase down to just Joomla! and Drupal for open-source Content Management Systems (CMS). The control freak in me has me, perhaps unwisely, veering towards Joomla! and Drupal.
What are Content Management Systems you say? My definition is that they provide the guts of a web portal instead of having to build the whole mess from scratch. Flop one of these up on an appropriately configured server and start tweaking the details. Less wheel reinvention.
Joomla! looks the easiest but Drupal looks like the more full featured and supported. Django has also been mentioned to me but I'm draggin' on checking it out for some unknown reason.
