Plone or drupal?
If you’ve been looking for a good content management system, you’ve likely encountered what I refer to as the “CMS Wars”: Three of the tools available generate a lot of debate, a lot of interest, and a lot of fierce loyalty.
(If you’re wondering, the tools are Plone, Joomla and Drupal).
They should - each tool is terrific and getting better quickly. The good folks at Idealware continue to publish and host webinars about these tools. And one of my Plone experts just sent along a lengthy and very thoughtful article from someone who has implemented both tools - which makes for a great perspective!
We implement Plone here at NPower Seattle, and have been happy with the sites we’ve been able to create, the speed at which many of our customers learn how to use Plone to update content, and with the broader Plone community, too.
All of that said, though - as the tools get better and better (think about your copy machine!) - I think that you should due your homework about feature set and functionality AND give equal consideration to your local vendor or service provider. Often, the service and breadth of experience of your provider will make a bigger difference than the tool you select!
