Hello,
Maybe a strange question to ask this plone ngo users list but I'm wondering if anyone on this list has experience with Drupal? I would like to revamp a web platform into a more web 2.0-ish platform, facilitating users to create content and collaborate, incorporate widgets from other platforms, and just generally make it a user generated content platform for exchange and collaboration. I am wondering if Drupal wouldn't be more suitable because of all the "buzz" I have heard about it lately, but I don't personally have experience with Drupal. My web 2.0-ish experience with plone is also limited because I have only been using it as a cms for a corporate website, or as an information management application. I do have experience with plone's "coreblog" module, which in my experience did not look "bloggish" out-of-the-box at all. A lot of tweaking was necessary to get it looking like a blog. Now I know blogs can take on many shapes, but there is a general stereotype and my audience needs some points of recognition as blogs and wikis and the like are often somewhat new tools for them. Don't get me wrong, what I have seen plone do up till now makes me a fan, but in terms of striving to mobilize a community and stimulating them..., reducing the barriers to collaborate and share online as much as possible... is plone equal to drupal in that regard? Finally, does anyone have personal experience with migrating from plone to another platform? Any migration is tough, but are there specific issues I need to consider? :> Thank you for your time and feedback! Nynke A plone fan
