January 29, 2008 I don’t exactly know where the exclamation point came from, but if you want a scarily easy CMS to install, Joomla is a place to start. I’ll have to admit to my preference for Joomla, although Drupal is growing on me more and more. I’ll mention the other FOSS CMS systems in other posts.

First is the wholesale movement toward the three major open source CMS platforms/frameworks, Drupal , Joomla and Plone. Second is that Linux servers seem to have made very serious inroads into nonprofit organizations, such that they are becoming almost commonplace.

I am thinking that this might be a good model for how we can do it with Drupal, but that’s a subject for another post. at 7:46 pm Like everything in Drupal land, there is code for that… though the quality varies widely. With joshk as the maintainer, the quality should be better than average.
