« on: May 29, 2009, 03:19 PM »except for the easy theming, I would recommend Drupal. Mind you, however, such a rich feature set comes at a price: complexity.
To get started quickly you could try the package from acquia which bundles drupal and load of modules.
Drupal will not be perfect. I can help a little if need be.-housetier (May 11, 2009, 07:24 PM)
I completely uninstalled Acquia - you don't get any of the real benefit of it unless you want to pay them.
Take a little time to learn about Drupal. I am a LONG TIME Mambo / Joomla site builder who finally made the switch.
Joomla has some real coolnes and ease-of-initial-setup, but you quickly run into problems if you want to deal with EVENTS. com_events is pretty much dead, and the new version they are coming out with kinda sucks (at least when I tested it). Have you ever looked at the DATABASE?? ?OMG someone needs to be shot (OK, I'm a database NAZI). And the new rage on Joomla is to offer open source components, but charge for the download service. Sure, it's legal, but don't start b****ing when someone takes your open-source component and offers it for free to the world - also perfectly legal.
I rant.
Drupal is a minor pain to get right, but you get so much more control, and even true MULTISITE ability.
Other than that, go with Typo3 (v4)
