Here's how.

First is the wholesale movement toward the three major open source CMS platforms/frameworks, Drupal , Joomla and Plone. Providers seem to be surviving (or thriving) with this model, free and open source software projects are getting the support they need, and clients are getting the software solutions they need.

I’ll have to admit to my preference for Joomla, although Drupal is growing on me more and more. They have an amazing user community, and there are places to get amazing themes. I’ll mention the other FOSS CMS systems in other posts. I haven’t spend enough time with Plone to really get a feel for it. Be Helpful.

2) The customers, as a general rule, check to the open source or open API box on their RFP and then hire the vendor to do the implementation… they just don’t have the technical chops to really dive deep into the software. at 3:59 pm Yeah, I certainly worry about that dynamic with company-led open source software.

For another client, I helped them vet vendors for their new website, taught them the difference between Joomla, Drupal and Plone, and I helped free them from a vendor who was particularly egregious in their hosting charges, among other things. 1200/month for an old and therefore crappy custom CMS and not much support. OK, enough of that.

The single largest CMS used was Drupal, at 15%, followed by Plone and Joomla (approx 8% each.) There is some great food for thought, although in some ways, the results aren’t so surprising. Most people (67%) want an easy to use interface. Most people (57%) also want ongoing support. Be Helpful.

at 7:09 am Why do we not see a collaborative effort to create community owned software? In order to create the best piece of software you need the best people. It would cost them a lot more money to do this type of work themselves (either with homemade software or without). And there are many ways to get good quality software.
