Hi,
Can anyone advise on the most accessible, open-source CMS between Joomla,
Drupal or Plone?
No takers? I'll answer the question: Plone.
You'll need Python (pretty rare on servers as a whole) as opposed to the
far more widespread PHP to run the shebang, but I find it to be far more
customisable with far more power. Plus, Python Tal and Metal are
extremely easy to understand and manipulate in the templates (should you
ever need to).
Drupal and Joomla seem to be far easier to install and get running, but
after that you're stuck in absolute hell if you want anything other than
an elaborate blog (granted, that is all people seem to want these days):
Crucially, there are no link libraries.
Plone (indeed, the Zope beneath it) simulates folders perfectly so you
basically have a file system logic – and keeps a catalogue of all files,
pages and sub-elements that can easily be mashed, concatenated or
referenced from anywhere else.
Plus the number of incredibly advanced products (including such
wonderful things as TextIndexNG, which can index MS office files and
make them searchable)... It's hands down to me.
I'd recommend setting up a virginal Plone and installing the
DIYPloneStyle product to get on your way.
Regards,
Barney
