“For many organizations (or individuals) with content
to post and manage, blog tools like the highly popular WordPress
may be more than adequate. But for companies with greater amounts
of content, users, or complexity, including integration with
ecommerce and also with other internal and external applications, a
more comprehensive content management systems (CMS) is needed.“Here’s a look at two popular open source content management
systems: Drupal and Joomla! (the exclamation point is part of the
official name, tsk tsk, but for punctuative simplicity I’m omitting
it for the rest of this article). I’ve asked developers to weigh in
on the strengths, weaknesses and unique features each offers, to
help determine which is the best match for your organization’s
content needs.“Before we begin, it should be noted that both Joomla and Drupal
keep getting updated — e.g., Joomla 1.6 was released January 10,
2011, and Drupal 7 on January 5, 2011 — and get more add-on
modules. This is a good thing, obviously. But it also means that
the opinions expressed in this article may become outdated or
invalidated. As always.”
