Do we celebrate the Downfall of Joomla!?

Tagged as:

June 15, 2008 marks the one-year anniversary of the downfall of Joomla! On June 15, 2007 Joomla! made their infamous "Open Source Does Matter" post that infuriated extension coders to no avail; the post that limited Joomla!'s coders (and users) options in the name of the GPL.

So should we have a cake?

When I was looking for an all-in-one type CMS to run a site, it cam down to Drupal and Joomla. I picked Drupal. I guess that was a good choice. I could never get the hang of Joomla and from what I have experienced, you can do a lot more customization of Drupal without actually coding.

CMS choice - Silverstripe or Zikula

Phew... after wrestling with Silverstripe, which had been voted 'most promising CMS' a couple of years ago, I've finally gotten around to trying Zikula. I used Zikula, in it's former incarnation known as Postnuke, several years ago. Damn, I missed it!

Silverstripe is IMPOSSIBLY slow, and I had some issues with install, too. Zikula was a dream to install, very easy to understand interface, and I know it's power and speed from when I used it before. It has excellent multilingual features, and I need that coz I'm building an English / Korean site. I think the developers are the real deal.

I haven't seen much hype for Zikula, so I thought I'd leave this post with my twopenneth worth.

While I've looked at Silverstripe, I never got passed the playing with it stage so I can't comment on its slowness.

And after the Zikula name change, I still haven't seen much press/hype about it.

But I'm glad it works for you.
