Hi there,

After a quick chat with other coordinators we agreed to open the subject
about our public website.

Currently powered with sitemgr and rather "frozen" we are wondering if
using something else (more "on the shelf cms) could help...

please tell us what you think... :)

I have a strong bias towards "Joomla!", but it's hardly objective since
I'm on the development team! The best alternative is Drupal. Both
systems are very popular (our latest maintenance release has seen
111,000+ downloads since July 5th). They each have different strengths
and great development and support communities behind them.

I spent a great deal of time looking at CMS systems before settling on
"Joomla!", and although a lot of them look pretty good on the surface,
many of them get very ugly when you try to really use them.

I will confess that I have long wished that phpGW functionality was
available as a suite of "Joomla!" extensions....
