[Web4lib] Drupal & Plone

[Bollinger,Stephen]

Hi,

We are using Plone for our forthcoming website redesign.  We considered
Drupal but chose Plone primarily because we had access to several people
who had worked with Plone previously whom we could get help from.

Drupal and Plone seem to be relatively similar in functionality, you
might want to base your choice on how familiar you are with PHP (which
Drupal is built on) or Python (which Zope/Plone is built on).

In the next few months I am working with our state library association
on their Drupal site, so I will be much more familiar with the
differences between the two.  Currently I only know about Plone.

Good luck with your project!

Yours,
-Steve

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
