The Packt Open Source Content Management System Award is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward an Open Source Content Management System (CMS) that has been selected by a panel of judges and visitors to www.PacktPub.com.

I guess it's that time again! Nominations are open until August 31st and systems can be nominated in the following categories:

  • Overall Winner
  • Most Promising Open Source CMS
  • Best Open Source PHP CMS
  • Best Other Open Source CMS
  • Best Social Networking CMS

For Overall Winner I nominated Drupal. Drupal, in some respects, is much more forward thinking than others. (Like Wordpress.) Drupal is what a content management system should be. Mostly. I still have problems with it. Like theming. I can't stand creating themes with Drupal. (Which is why I don't use it.)

For Most Promising (which is for systems that had their first release in the last 2 years) I nominated Habari. Sure, it's only had one development release, and it's extremely buggy, but it has a lot of potential. (And if they add categories instead of just tags, I'm (most likely) so there...)

Thanks for the nomination!

I don't expect that we'll add categories as a core feature of Habari -- we spent quite a lot of time arguing the issue that I think we're all content with only tags. That said, I'm sure a plugin could easily provide formal hierarchical categorization. If it's something you need/want, speak up on the mailing list!
