- eaton, on 10/31/2007, -1/+16There are actually a fair number of features that were still being completed during the B1 cycle that are in the official B2 release. A lot of cleanly-implemented AJAX and AHAH functionality is now baked into Drupal's underlying Form processing API, for example, and can be seen in a number of places where drag-and-drop rearranging, 'click here for more options' and so on all use jQuery but degrade gracefully if JS is turned off. Making CSS-based skins is also possible (at long last!) without knowing a lick of PHP.
- pusle, on 10/26/2007, -1/+4Finally! I'm so looking forward to when the beta testing is done and the final version can be downloaded! This is my favorite CMS.
- gdog05, on 10/29/2007, -5/+5I prefer Joomla at the moment, but there is a lot of good stuff to check out here. I think it's worth another look at Drupal.
- amoeba, on 10/29/2007, -3/+4Having worked professionally with Joomla and Drupal. I have to say, I prefer Drupal
- Arancaytar, on 10/29/2007, -0/+2Indeed - if you aim to have any extensibility or clean source, Drupal is the right choice. Joomla has only the advantage XP has over Linux: Bright and shiny as long as you don't try to find out what goes on under the surface.

- Geekpulp, on 10/26/2007, -1/+2I'm starting the move from wordpress, looking forward to working with the new system, sounds like a great platform.
- jimmy8501, on 10/26/2007, -1/+8I do like Joomla, but prefer the incredible flexibility of Drupal. CSS-based skins has been the biggest weak point of Drupal in my opinion, so this is a much appreciated update. Absolutely psyched about this new version... dugg!
- dvessel, on 11/11/2007, -1/+1Nothing to write home about, but this theme was originally done in a day. CSS based themes are perfectly feasible in 6 and there's a big opportunity for talented designers to get noticed since the available themes are still relatively weak.

- johnb10175, on 10/26/2007, -4/+1I've used them all and always return to word press. If you know how to turn it into a CMS it's the best and most easy to customize.
- jchrome, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3Great, now that I finally have all 9 of my Drupal sites running perfectly in a 5x configuration from a single codebase, 6 beta is out taunting me with its coolness... :D
- kenyob, on 10/26/2007, -1/+1CSS-based skins will be huge. Now what about code release control?
- lewhich, on 10/18/2007, -0/+3Is there any honest chart that compares Drupal vs Joomlah (usabilty, features, learning curve etc.)
Please provide a link- Julma, on 10/22/2007, -0/+2Yes. Please. If any of you do have non-biased feature comparison of these two, do share!
Preferably comparing Drupal (5.3+) to the new Joomla! 1.5 .. None of that Mambo legacy bull, which was obviously inferior to Drupal in every way imaginable.- eaton, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2Joomla! 1.5 hasn't yet been released; Drupal 6 and Joomla! 1.5 seem to be headed for release in the same timeframe.
- HalfGiraffe, on 10/18/2007, -0/+2Joomla 1.5 is at RC 2 so I would assume it would be out much sooner. I'm actually running it on a small production site but I really wish they'd let me use Drupal 5. Joomla is still too limiting (unless you're ready to write your own extensions).
- eaton, on 10/19/2007, -0/+2Joomla! 1.5 hasn't yet been released; Drupal 6 and Joomla! 1.5 seem to be headed for release in the same timeframe.
- jchrome, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3Sure, compare those two or any of the other popular CMS packages here: http://www.cmsmatrix.org/
- Julma, on 10/18/2007, -0/+0Unfortunately this only offers comparison with the old v1 codebase of J!, so it's somewhat inaccurate. For example, the new version apparently has full support of UTF-8 and SEF URLs.
- nborda, on 10/25/2007, -0/+0I did some research about this, I found a great chart at Alledia, although they are obviously Joomla biased, they tried to keep it honest.

- Rageous, on 10/19/2007, -3/+1As far as I'm concerned, Drupal's templating system is still years behind ExpressionEngine and the functionality is about on par *after* installing CivicSpace. It's powerful stuff, but these guys have a long way to go.
- eaton, on 10/22/2007, -0/+8Drupal's design revolves aroudn a relatively lightweight core download with expansion APIs that can add functionality as needed. The fact that additional addons are necessary to equal specific bits of functionality bundled with other software is a design decision, not an inherent flaw.
I looked through the EE template galleries and the templating documention. I wasn't able to see much to set it apart from other templating systems; are there any specific killer features its approach brings to the table? - dvessel, on 10/25/2007, -0/+0Just took a peed at EE and I don't see how it's approach is special. Looks like you have to duplicate a lot of the markup and keep them inside your database. Both are ugly approaches. Not to mention another tagging language needs to be understood that's completely useless outside of EE.

- snull, on 10/26/2007, -3/+0drupal > wordpress > joomla
i say that mainly due to d/w having metaweblogapi so you can post instantly w/ the firefox extension www.scribefire.com and because they have better and more automated security update features - ChuckAndBob, on 10/26/2007, -2/+3Dugg. Drupal is great.
- xxiao, on 10/26/2007, -2/+3Drupal is indeed great. I am a bit concerned on the fast move on 5.x --> 6.x --> 7.x though.
- eaton, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3The 5.x branch will, by the time 6.o is released, have been around for about a year and will receive another year of active support. The 7.x branch is simply an arbitrary point on the roadmap at this point.
- bradlis7, on 10/19/2007, -0/+0Drupal simply releases when it's ready. There's no time limit. I feel it's going a little slow, but good software of the open source world releases software only when it's ready to be released. If you're concerned wait a week or two after releasing version 6 to see if a 6.1 is released.
- cosmicdreams, on 10/26/2007, -3/+1wish I could dig this twice!!
- glory, on 10/29/2007, -1/+1me too! More Drupal News Please!
- rosgar, on 10/26/2007, -1/+0Drupal is sloww if you're on a shared hosting and its memory performance. But it is a nice CMS.
- sgluskin, on 10/26/2007, -1/+0Just keeps getting better and better. Fantastic community.
- alexisb, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1I love to see the latest jQuery on Drupal 6.0 and the idea of including tpl.php in modules is a nice one too.
It's quite difficult trying to compare one CMS with another, everybody have different needs and different background so a CMS that seems complicated for some could be the perfect fit for others. You just need to try a few and decide for yourself.
