Plone vs Joomla?

[Jon H]

Comments? Suggestions? General abuse?

what's the context? I've never used it, but by all accounts Joomla is supposed to be very crufty, even by PHP standards.

Hi,

Not sure I'd agree there, I think Joomla is mean to be a bit
cleaner MVC than Drupal or Wordpress for example.

Although I agree it all depends on scale and use case.

1 person blog to multi-tenancy Enterprise desktop integrated CMS
for thousands of users goes roughly along this line:

Wordpress - Joomla - Drupal - Plone - Alfresco

So if you dont need much more than an extended blog its probably
easier than Plone.

Cheers,
Ed

That's interesting - i've never used it or developeed with it, so only going on hearsay - people say the same things about wordpress and drupal, which I have worked with and would agree that they are both fairly crufty (but do the job they are intended for!)

Hi,

I have to be honest and say that I have only developed with plone,
wordpress and drupal too (which are what we use at work). Although I
have set up Alfresco and Joomla for a review comparison exercise.

We found that Joomla was a bit to simple / lacking in plugins to do
quick small sites, compared with Drupal. But I admit it may just look
cleaner, could be just as hacky when you actually code with it.

Cheers,
Ed
