Hi, all-- Last summer was the most recent discussion I've found on MCN-L about Drupal as a content management system, and I was wondering whether anybody has done any recent comparison between Drupal and WordPress (especially WordPress MU) as a website CMS.
We're planning on using one or the other as part of a complete site redesign: using the content we currently have as a base, but updating the overall site design and navigation; permitting content editing by multiple staffers; and providing a more sophisticated integration of social media (multiple blogs among other things). So we're trying to get a read on the current state of these two platforms. Along with general opinions about ease of use and the their development communities, we're interested in: * ability to handle heavy traffic * security * how well customizations roll from upgrade to upgrade * social media integration Any and all opinions, pro and con, about either Drupal or WordPress MU (or both) would be most appreciated! I'm happy to write up a summary post of anything I hear (and to clarify if needed). Many thanks! --Eric Eric D. M. Johnson New Media Specialist Monticello P.O.
