Topic: Joomla or Drupal? (Page 1 of 1)

I have a project coming up that I am going to need to use a CMS. Which do you all prefer as far as CMS? Joomla or Drupal? If one more than the other can you tell me some pros and cons of them?

Thanks in advance!

I've tried Joomla and its mother (Mambo) and wasn't impressed by either. Drupal seems to have a much smaller community but it's basically the same stuff.

If project cost is an issue (i.e. development/implementation time, learning curve) then Wordpress can be a great CMS.

I've been using Drupal for all my projects the last couple of years. It's got a learning curve to it, but it's very flexible. I especially like what they've done with 6 as far as usability. The only real downsides I've come across are disorganized documentation, which can be frustrating to a beginner, and the fact that any new core release is virtually useless for at least 6 months while all the good extensions play catch-up.

Still, there's very little that can't be done with it once you understand the structure.

Wes, I've heard the same thing from a couple of other people about Drupal. I think that I am going to go with that. Time to install it on my test server and learn how to build a theme.

Thanks for the info.

Assuming you were going open source - PHP/MySQL, which would you use:

thanks for the advice reisio :-\ What would be your suggestion? I don't have the time to roll my own nor do I probably have the ability. ;-)
