Drupal or WordPress?

Question

Which CMS is better, and list several reasons why. I'm looking for clean interface, easy to use (but with many features) and ability to log in from any computer with an internet connection.

Answer 1

Joomla is undoubtedly the best. Well....wordpress is a blogging system but nowadays being used as a CMS also.
I would suggest wordpress for a small website. But for a big site you shoud use Joomla
I have tried both Joomla and Wordpress....and was completely satisfied with both of them.
-WP is faster than Joomla
-Both are SEF.
-Joomla can provide you with many enhanced features.

Good luck...!!

Answer 2

I'd suggest Joomla, right off the top of my head. Open source, very active developer community and so many ways to interface to, for instance, database systems. More flexibility than you may need, or be willing to manage.

The most widely used is MediaWiki, also open source, and the basis for Wikipedia. It's very capable, rather complex, and not really supported for geenral use.

There are several variants of Wiki software which vary quite a bit in complexity and difficulty. All, as far as I'm aware, can be used via a Web browser and so satisfy that aspect of your requirements, but ease of use is quite variable as a criteria. A review of them with your precise requirements in mind, will be helpful. But will, of course, require you to make explicit those requirements, lest you become mired in comparison purgatory.

=========
different flavors

There are several approaches to CMS, with varying intents. Some of the earliest were the documentation and code maintenance systems. CVS and RCS (a more recent variant is Subversion), require a formal 'checkout' of a document or code routine, and then a formal 'checkin' of the new version after changes. As well, there are issues of access control and identifying the user doing this particular checkout or checkin. These provide a kind of security traceablilty for the code changes (or documentation changes) which is useful in some circumstances. Other CMS systems, like the Wikis, are less concerned with traceability and such, and more concerned with the collaborative aspects of the work. Some of these, like MediaWiki as configured for Wikipedia, are a middle ground, offering both a kind of access control (loosely policed to be sure), as well as anonymous access.

Other groupware designs have other intents. Ease of email-like message interactions (usually with little joint deliverable result, but lots of distributed message piles on computers here and there). Or oriented toward interactive video, audio, or whiteboard collaboration; these rarely produce any sort of deliverable at all. Disparate notes in varying places, and only for those who were available at meeting time, whatever their local time, but only that.

============
non-trivial choice

You will have to decide what your real world situation (people, management policies, legal constraints, social structures, available skills and abilities, ...) demands of the CMS software situation you're thinking about, and try to find software that fits those circumstances. It is unlikely that you will find anything that meets all requirements, if only because it's difficult to realize what all the requirements actually are. For instance, prior to the invention of interactive spreadsheets, having Excel to immediate hand for all was hardly a requirement in anyone's mind, including end users.

An early decision, and one with very considerable consequence throughour a project. Get it wrong along one or more dimensions, and users will suffer to a greater or lesser degree, wasting their time 'rasslin with it. Get it mostly right, and users will be much more able to spend their time doing productive work, not grappling with their tools.

Answer 3

I'm already tried Drupal and I think it's too less features and lack of skins.
I think that Mambo(Joomla) is the best CMS. I think that it's perfect.
Anyway, you can see the real demo and comments at this website.
