This is going to make these projects better, and make support for them more available. OpenAds , an open source ad server (very cool) just got tons of $ in financing. Because these applications are not proprietary, and anyone can get their hands on them, and install and use them, this means that nonprofits get the benefit.

I’ll have to admit to my preference for Joomla, although Drupal is growing on me more and more. 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).

Consider how you can support more robust knowledge sharing. Consider the answers, as well as your budget and human resources, and then determine what is required to support the network. Should you support their use of existing tools, or create a new space? Are you ready to take your community to the next level of maturity?
