[Mageia-discuss] Website software

[Lirodon]

Okay, here's some of my comparisons in my opinion:

WordPress
-Good at content
-Primarily intended for blogging, but can be used as a general purpose CMS
too.
-Rather popular
-Open source
-Good functionality without addons
-Easy to use administration interface
-Some advanced functions depend on theme coding

Drupal
-Good at organizing content and communities
-Has no clear intended use.
-Rather popular
-Open source
-Requires a large number of modules to be useful.
-A little harder to administrate, but rather powerful.

TextPattern
-Very light, yet rather powerful
-Primarily intended for blogging, but can be used as a general purpose CMS
too.
-Nice article system
-Open source
-Admin UI is a little plain and takes some getting used to, but it works
nicely.

Joomla
-Rather popular
-Open source
-Complete junk in my mind. Avoid at all costs.
