[Web4lib] Drupal & Plone

[William Forgette]

We just started using drupal for our library website and are very happy with
it. Can't vouch for Plone since we have no exposure to it.

Are installation of Drupal was very straight forward, even on a windows 2003
server with IIS 6.0, although things such as cron would probably work better
on a LAMP setup. I already had php set up on the box and mysql.  Getting
drupal in place took just about ten minutes.  

We focused on getting our content migrated and now our next step will be to
dive into the stylesheets and such to give it a look that is more our own.

If you search the archives, you should be able to gather a list of library
sites that use drupal, I saw that covered in the past.

Good luck with your project!

Subject: [Web4lib] Drupal & Plone

Hi All, 

I am wondering if anybody has some experieneces with Drupal and Plone.
Currently, we are trying to build a website based upon some open source CMS
such as Drupal and Plone. So far I only know that the Ann Arbor District
Library http://www.aadl.org/ is using Drupal.


Could somebody shed some light on this? Which one is better, Drupal or
Plone, according your experience.
You might have other recommendations as well. 

Thanks,
Hongbin
