Feel free to contact me off-list, as building LAMP based sites with 
various back ends is something I do as part of Just Works.  I'd be happy 
to work with them to come up with a good fit.

 Here are some of the key things I'd look for:

Definitely a good list of questions.  Any of the top three (Joomla,

Hi Carl:

Great to hear from you.

Hope the past winter was better for you in upstate then it was here in 
NH (though I do note the list of Emergency Backup links on your site).

Joomla is definitely one of the popular CMS systems out there.
I've found that the move away from static web pages to almost any CMS is 
pretty liberating for people.
Removes the need to have 'the web person who makes all the changes' in 
an organization.
Still trying to get the local schools over that little hurdle.

Look forward to reading more of your web articles.

 Using Joomla currently; it seems to work well.  Some plugins were required
 to make it do what we wanted, though.  In particular the built-in file
 upload tool is crap, and there are form submission and tabbed-page plugins
 that are quite handy.  Nontechnical folks can add, technical sorts can still
 access HTML to make tweaks if they feel the need.  (It doesn't tie your
 hands too much.)

Modulo the specific plugins, that's an excellent description of Drupal as well.

Hi Lori:
We've used both Drupal and Plone recently.
Some thoughts:
- both reasonably complete CMS systems.
- Plone has a tough learning curve -- but can be pretty easy for the 
non-techs once it is set up.
- Drupal has less of a learning curve -- and also relatively easy to use 
once set up.
- Drupal seems to hit the wall with complex environments a bit earlier 
than Plone does (e.g., Plone more complex but also more capable.)
- Plone doesn't get security update alerts every week.
- Plone community has a greater focus on web standards than Drupal 
community (core products not bad, Drupal add-ons are all over the map).
- Drupal has a much larger collection of half-done, partially 
implemented, done some time soon now plug-ins.
- Plone tends to have fewer plug-ins (and 1-3 of any particular 
selection, like blogging), but they tend to be maintained (there are, of 
course, always exceptions to this).
- Drupal will deploy just about anywhere you can get PHP and MySQL.
- Plone requires more specialized hosting (though places like 
Webfaction.com provide excellent service).
- Plone built on Zope which is probably the most complex environment in 
the Python community.
- Fairly active Plone community here in the northeast. 
- Drupal built on PHP and you can find PHP programmers just about 
everywhere.

One big difference between the two is ecommerce.
Drupal has a nice Ubercart system which is fairly flexible (long as you 
don't need multi-language checkouts).
Plone community working on their first eCommerce plug in which is doing 
well, but nowhere near as functional as something like Drupal.
If you need a heave e-commerce component, then a pure Plone solution is 
probably out of the picture for the moment.

Above are all my personal opinions to date.
I don't consider myself an expert by any stretch in either of these.
Your mileage may, as always, vary.

Lori, you really need to first understand what you require the CMS to 
actually do before making a selection.

Joomla and Drupal both tend to be fairly hefty in terms of capability. 
You may not actually need all of that though. For clients with simpler 
needs I often will use Word Press because it provides the essentials of 
a CMS, is simple to use for non-technical people, and provides a good 
level of granularity with regard to content control mechanisms so that 
different sections of the site can be assigned to different people and 
the accounts can be prevented from editing other user's sections of the 
site.

Here are some of the key things I'd look for:

Do you have one person editing content or many?
Do you need content editing access controls?
Do you need e-commerce capability?
Do you need a blog?
Do you have existing content that you'll convert?
Do you handle lots of images?
Do you need to handle video or audio?
Do you want site visitors to be able to interact with the site? Such as 
commenting, responses, help requests, etc.
Do you need the site to integrate with other internal systems? What 
types of systems?

Hope this helps!

a Joomla! view from LUGOR territory in Western NY [WAS Re: CMS ]

2009-03-24 Thread Carl Helmers

Hi Ray... [and Lori and et al in GNHLUG ]

_*Regarding CMS's:*_   I've been thinking about and experimenting with 
/Joomla!/ for my personal
legacy site www.helmers.com http://www.helmers.com/  since last summer 
thanks to our former *_/BYTE/_* editorial colleague
Mark Dahmke (co-owner of the ISP firm /Information Analytics, Inc./ in 
Lincoln Nebraska.) 
Mark followed up his suggestion of /Joomla!/ with my access to his 
/Joomla!/ beta site on which
I started to experiment.  After diddling around to see what /Joomla! 
/could do for  the rest of
2008, I finally got serious about creating my new site at the end of 
December.


While not obvious to me when Mark suggested /Joomla!/ to me last July, 
WWW research and then
experimenting with a beta version of my now on line /Joomla! /site has 
shown this CMS to provide
a great way to create an editorial oriented site ala a personal 
magazine.  I am back in the meme of
self-publishing that led to my _*/BYTE/*_ magazine at the start of the 
last quarter of the last century.



With /Joomla!/, I use HTML output directories of articles created 
offline with /Open Office Writer/,
uploaded to my site with /FileZilla/'s FTP,  and then -- here is a 
/non-naive user/ part -- link each
article's one .html file in the site's directory tree to its menu item 
by hand wiring that article's one
/.html/ file name/address on the site to the corresponding /Joomla!/ 
menu item.  That's the one relatively
minor /naive user/ gotcha about /Joomla!/ as I use the system.  The 
results far outweigh learning that one

rote trick to use /Joomla!/ as presently implemented in the 1.5.9 version.

The neatest thing from the point of view of my site's WWW visitors is 
the advantage of using their browsers
when reading my articles.  My internal /OOWriter/ bookmarks in the 
source document automatically become
active hyperlinks once the HTML output reaches the WWW site.   For good 
examples of my bookmark

hyperlink technique presently posted, see my articles
 The Importance of (Emergency Backup) Power 
http://www.helmers.com/images/stories/CH_Main_M/Imp_E_B_Pwr/Importance_of_%28Emergency_Backup%29_Power.html 


or
 Compressor Time Box 
http://www.helmers.com/images/stories/Projects/C_T_B/Compressor_Timer_Box.html 

Both these articles use this technique for lists of sections and lists 
of images and occasional
random internal links in text.   /OOWriter/  external links to valid WWW 
addresses from an
article automatically become active valid hyperlinks when  the article 
is posted.  (While not written and posted
on my site yet,  this is key to re-creating my article on a list of 
favorite WWW sites.)


Use of a true WWW browser to read an otherwise static non-web article 
presentation is
the major innovation that I have created.  Unlike reading an article 
from /OOWriter /or even
from a .pdf Adobe Acrobat form,  the browser has a back button whose 
scope goes homogeneously
from the on-line posted article all the way back to originating place on 
the WWW site!  The article

thus integrated with the  whole WWW!

My offline editorial method was not obvious when I first started looking 
at /Joomla!/ last
summer.  By January I had perfected the technique so that it works 
smoothly, though it
is definitely not automatic and may be above the mythical /naive user/'s 
abilities. 

My /Joomla!/ beta site became the real www.helmers.com 
http://www.helmers.com/  on March 7 when I changed
DNS pointers in close e-mail cooperation with Mark.   For a while,  my 
site will keep evolving as
I add queued and new materials not yet posted.  I still have un-answered 
questions about
certain aspects of /Joomla!/ but at least I have base from which to ask 
questions...  Then there is

always the unknown of moving beyond the default site template :-)

Live long and prosper

Lori:

Both Joomla and Drupal are fairly capable content management systems, 
and with great power comes, no, no that, comes a bit of overhead. Both 
have made a good effort at user-friendliness, but they're still 
non-trivial. As others have already answered, there are plugins and 
add-ons to simplify some of those tasks, and both products have active 
communities for peer support. For sophisticated sites, it's not 
unreasonable to bring in a consultant or train someone in-house as the 
adminstrator.

What exactly is the company using the CMS for? If they really want a 
support forum or a multi-user blog or an issue tracking system, I'll bet 
many members of the forum will have suggestions. If they're locking for 
a document-management system, there might be other alternatives that are 
better tuned for that, again, depending on the exact situation.

If they'd like to learn more about Drupal and are local, there's the 
first ever meetup of the NH Drupal Group next month at the Concord 
Monitor April 13th (http://groups.drupal.org/node/20441). Note the both 
the Monitor and New Hampshire Public Radio have pretty extensive Drupal 
sites. There are several Drupal practitioners among GNHLUG members, and 
we've seen presentations of Drupal at a couple meetings.

Joomla! has also been presented several times to various GNHLUG groups, 
most notably by Barry North of Compass Design and JoomlaShack 
(http://www.compassdesigns.net/ and http://www.joomlashack.com/) who's 
based in Vermont and offers Joomla! training locally.

While Wordpress can do a lot, at the end of the day, it's a blog, not a CMS.
If your goal is blogging first, and other items secondary, it'll do
the job most likely.

Drupal.  Xaraya, Mambo (now Joomla).  All of these names are silly.

Joomla's pretty.  It's also easy to use, and gets a lot of newbie
attention as a result.  But (IMHO) the backend is very much
'separate'.  Install a new function, and there is no guarantee the new
functionality will mesh with the old.  It's like running multiple
programs that don't (always) talk to each other.  (nothing against
Joomla, btw, plenty of older CMSes were the same way.  I hated coding
for Postnuke (now Xaraya) for that reason.

Take a look at (and install) Drupal 5.0.  Drupal's now 6 years old,
and very mature, very easy to use, and unlike the above, it's _very_
much built from the ground up in a modular manner.  Its' motto is
'community plumbing', in part because of the tinkertoy manner in which
you can connect pieces together.  Want your blog entries to have event
calendaring?  Ok.  Now want to add geolocation and a map?  Ok.  What,
you want voting and promoting the best stuff to the front page, troll
and spam protection, group permissions, e-commerce, image galleries,
ajaxian coolness, and 50 other things?  Ok.  And for the most part,
they all talk/interact together...   and if you want it simple, you
can do that too...


One thing I *really* liked about Joomla! was the downloadable user
manual available in PDF.  It makes for reading about it much easier
when you're on the train :)


There are books (including PDFs) on all of the better CMSes.
Professional bound (or pdf) books on Drupal exist (and I recommend
them) but they aren't needed, as there is a nice handbook online as
well as a strong community of users.

Local sites running drupal you might have visited lately, and the
people behind them...

http://nhpr.org (running a very custom version I think at this point)
coded by a local Drupal whiz Morbus Iff ( http://www.disobey.com )
Haven't met him, though we've emailed once or twice.

http://www.concordspca.org
coded by http://carnevaledesign.com  Never met them.

http://democracyfornewhampshire.com
don't recall who is webmastering this now, but it's running Civicspace
(a Drupal repackaging) and is a bit aged now.

and on the other side of the fence, http://nhliberty.org
which I _used_ to webmaster, running a slightly newer CivicSpace version.
