Who gets $5000 for the best Open CMS?

Posted by The Technocrat | Filed under Web

Joomla LogoPackt Publishing is taking nominations for the best open-source CMS, with the winner receiving $5000.00. I’ve nominated Joomla for its ease of use and simplicity to manage. This ease of use allows me to make websites for people, and have them manage the site themselves. In addition, the huge and helpful user community + massive amount of plugins and modules have made it easy for me to never have to write any php more than a few dozen lines, a definite plus when the client is on a budget and I’m on a timeline. The quality of the plugin modules is great as well, from stuff like simple weather widgets to entire eCommerce and user management systems.
What CMS did you nominate, and why? Make your case, maybe you can unseat my favorite…?

    I would definately have to say Drupal. It is by far my favorite out of all of them.
