The Hunt for the Best CMS
Eóin:
Rover is right, mono is an excellent opensource .NET implementation. However I've read there are some legal ambiguities over its attempt to implement ASP.NET and the Windows.Forms as they are not part of the documented open standards core of .NET (such as C# and the System modules).
I had read this in a Linux Format Interview: the men of Mono however the snippet online doesn't contain the relevant parts.

Since I still like Drupal I was very pleased to find a review. Although not as enthusiastically as I would have written it, the review highlights drupal's strong points.
I use drupal 4.7 myself, but I have to admit that integration of smf won't be trivial.
mouser:
drupal feels a little different from most cms, in a good way (they seem to have taken a more unified approach to content and it feels a little less "hacked together" than most). but drupal seems deliberately more difficult to integrate with other systems to me.
i can't believe how many cms i've looked at recently and not been thrilled with any.. i'll try to give a more elaborate report on my conclusions at some point. but it must be fairly common that people keep thinking they haven't found the perfect cms and that's why so many new ones keep getting built.. everyone's needs seem to be a bit different.
latest one im looking at is http://tikiwiki.org/ which has some nice features in terms of using a wiki system as the foundation of a cms.

AMEN! I pretty much gave up on finding a good CMS. One of these days, I'll look again. There were/are several that need a few more versions to be ready... I'm just not going to run them while they grow. Besides, we need to see if they become abandonware or not.
tinyvillager:
I find http://pmachine.com/ pretty nifty.
They just released a new version with a wiki http://pmachine.com/products/wiki/
They also have a forum module,for $50,though i know you'd never switch forum software.
And i'm pretty sure their is no migration script from "whatever forum" to pmachine's forum.
Code Igniter
http://www.codeigniter.com/
On a side note one of their main developers offers a PHP framework,Code Igniter.I've seen
through their forum,users being able to create blogs,etc.An example-http://www.commonsdesign.com/
I thought Simplemachines was supposed to come out with a CMS,they polled their members
about the topic a couple of years back if memory serves me correctly.
