[Web4lib] About CMS...

[Pierre Nault]

Hello,

    The university library where I'm working for is actually searching for a
CMS to manage our library web site and intranet. This is our first
experience with a CMS and we're searching for an Open Source Solution. We
are experiencing with Joomla (on a local machine) but we found that there
are some limitations on what you can do with it (few types of users, degrees
of profoundness of the site (actually two levels); lack of respect for web
standards; limited workflow; few out of the box options; etc.). We have to
manage a very big site with different types of users and different types of
pages (dynamic content), we were thinking about Drupal or SPIP. Is there
anybody working with these two CMS? Do you have any suggestions regarding
the choice of a CMS? If you're running your library's web site with a CMS,
which one are you using?

Thanks.
