A long time ago (in web years) I was working with a certain CEO of a certain chapter of a certain very-big-nonprofit (whose role in life is to fund other nonprofits – this kinda gives it away, but it’s necessary for the story.) This reminds me of a true story.

I’ll be migrating my main consulting site over to it quite soon. This is where the role of nptech peeps like e-riders and so on can help support in an unbiased way to help groups to make the correct and informed choices (which is partly why I personally work with so many different apps). Joomla is growing fast.

Often, they had to pay a consultant to help them set up their database and teach them how to use it. Even with the consultant’s help, they had to endure a lengthy implementation period; it was months before the system was set up.

While Drupal’s ACL and roles are quite good (quite better than WP and Joomla) Zope’s additional capacity, and it’s much more granular workflow capacity provides a bit more protection against possible vulnerabilities.
