(3 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
Loading ...Over the past couple years I tested more Open Source solutions than I can remember. I was looking for an Ultimate Super Open Source tool that could do everything I imagined (Blog, Forum, Page Collaboration, Content Management, Wiki, etc..) While I couldn’t find such a perfect tool, I came across wonderful Open Source solutions that I became a fan of, such as phpBB, WordPress, MediaWiki, Moodle, and Drupal.
Right now, I have a couple projects I’ve been researching, one of these is a Knowledge Base that we urgently need at my workplace, the other is a personal project that would serve as a community website where collaboration on authoring documents is crucial. In essence I am looking for something similar to: Knowledge Base, a Wiki, a Content Management tool, a Discussion platform and a Blog.
As I searched literally hundreds of wikis, content management systems (CMS) and other solutions in quest for the best, I neglected to notice how powerful WordPress was. Could WordPress be The solution I’ve been looking for that’s been staring me in the face for years?

Comparing Drupal vs. Joomla vs. Typo3 and Others
(2 votes, average: 4.5 out of 5) Loading ...As stated in a previous post, selecting the right CMS for you isn’t easy given all the choices out there. Since my last CMS post, I’ve spent countless hours researching and narrowing down the CMS options. I now have narrowed my choices down to Four CMS engines.
It’s time to start installing an testing each of these. I have already installed and tested phpNuke and dotNetNuke; to tell you the truth, I was not impressed.
