Open Source Content Management Discussion?

Posted by Cliff on from the because-content-won't-manage-itself dept.

Media Girl asks: "As someone considering the vast array of GNU/open source CMS systems out there (and right here), what have been the experiences, insights and opinions of developers on the various programs out there, such as Slash, Scoop, Drupal, PHPslash and the various Nukes? CMS Matrix has a nice comparison grid of features, but there seems to be a lot left between the lines, and the Perl powerhouses are left out of the matrix. How do the typical components (blogs, articles, comments, karma) compare? What about modality, security and speed under heavy loads? What about the quality of ongoing development and activity of the app's community? What's leading edge and not bleeding edge? And what about the Perl/PHP debate? Can we take a snapshot of this realm of open source web development applications and hash it around a bit?"

    If you need a video to learn to use a CMS, then either you shouldn't be using a CMS or you should pick a different one.

  2. Slashcode is pretty poorly represented. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny
    This site looks pretty impressive until you look at the individual cms description pages. For instance, Slashcode according to the site, doesn't have content scheduling, rss feeds, blogging, a plug-in architecture or online administration. In fact, slashcode appears to do nothing at all. So I gotta wonder how solid the information for the other cms' are.

    Anyone out there have more expertise on the other CMS's want to double check this sites work?

    I made CMS for my site www.pungas.com and it works just fine. It took me less time then trying infinite number of CMS solutions and on the end you never find what you need.

    First off, you say three and name four. You must be a project manager. ;-)

    Secondly, if you can ignore WYSIWYG (please, what is 'preview' mode for?) then check out drupal. Small, tight, easy to configure, treelike structure. You'll spend more time trying to figure out your categories than you will doing other crap to get it rocking.
    Themes are light and largely CSS based.
