I should note that I started the Content Management Systems (and web-development in general) Wikia, for this and similar purposes: http://cms.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page You are welcome to register at wikia.com and start editing articles. As for your question - indeed different CMSes/Web-devel-frameworks have different fields in which they excel. You can use Drupal as a blogging platform (and with more difficulty) use WordPress as something similar to Drupal, but Drupal is essentially a CMS and WordPress is essentially a blogging platform. If you want a wiki, you can use MediaWiki or whatever. Django, Catalyst, Symfony, RoR, etc. are web-development frameworks, which allow one to build web applications on top of them, without actually forcing you into having comments or blogs, etc. You can build a CMS on top of them. Andy Lester and I contemplated creating an expert system like that for the "Which CPAN module to use?" question: http://perl.net.au/wiki/Finding_a_Module_on_CPAN Regards, Shlomi Fish ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Interview with Ben Collins-Sussman - http://xrl.us/bjn8s Shlomi, so what are you working on?
