Joseph Scott gave a neat presentation at UTOS about running WordPress over Nginx, which apparently does quite well in high traffic situations. Wordpress is also very easy to keep up to date, which helps with security, and they have an excellent support staff. It also has plenty of plugins, and a simple, intuitive user-interface that, in my experience, takes far less training time with your end users.
Joomla has tons of features built into it, to the point that it confuses the socks off people. I am migrating my kids school website from Joomla to Wordpress currently (awaiting endless debates from the comittees on category heirarchy). I haven't tried running upgrades on it for a few years. I haven't used Drupal extensively so I can't really comment on that, but I do know when I was doing hosting, it seemed only the most technical people understood it. And while I know most on this list wouldn't hve a problem with that, I'd think part of the point of a CMS is to allow less techy people to contribute more. I used to use NucleusCMS personally; it's another option that's simple and can be expanded upon. I still recommend WordPress over it. Hoping that helps :) -Velda _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
