Yes, I’ve done some research for a course I was teaching in Berlin on CMS’s generally. I’ve used Wordpress and Drupal and have gripes about each but they seem to the best PHP based CMSs I’ve seen.

Druapl is very flexable and has a better database design but its admin interface has had almost no thought or design put into it.

Wordpress is much less flexible and anything you do it it outside of blogging is usually a wrestle and results in some sort of compromise. It does have a much better admin interface (designed by Happy Cog) and its online community seems more cohesive and less scattered than Drupals.

If you want to get the feeling other PHP CMSs there is OpenSourceCMS that has most of them setup for you and you can login as admin and play with them. Also a good list of whats out there.

Hi there,
So Drupal sounds very tempting to give it a run but what do you think would be a good CMS to start on besides Wordpress? I worked with Wordpress for a while and since there are a few interesting ideas about Magazine themes or expanding the system towards portal like uses, I wonder have you tested any other CMSes and what do you think about them (Typo3 anyone?)?

Greez,
Karl

I ‘ve written community modules for Ubercart! Maybe we can collaborate on some projects or something. I was going to redo the Loesje homepage in Drupal as its currently a mess and it gets a couple of thousand hits a week which could go higher if there was more interesting stuff on it.

So much common ground :-)

I do Drupal, I live in in Berlin and I was born in Loesjes home town of Arnhem.

Have you done shops with ubercart?
