This is the usual answer - that they can't be compared because they're apples and oranges. I don't buy it. Yes, one is a framework and the other is a CMS. But from the position of an organization trying to decide between a framework and a CMS, the comparisons are valuable and necessary. In addition, because of Django's free "admin" feature, Django is really a framework that comes bundled with a CMS. Not to mention the fact that many CMSs have framework-like characteristics "Django is a framework with CMS tendencies; Drupal is a CMS with framework tendencies." It's not as apples/oranges as many people claim it is. These comparisons are not only possible, they're essential for a boss or a company trying to decide on their next platform. Only us geeks say things like "They can't be compared." Of course they can. I don't have a Joomla comparison, but I did put together this comparison with Drupal: http://birdhouse.org/blog/2009/11/11/drupal-or-django/ Scot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
