I run some stuff on joomla, and work with others in some stuff on drupal. I prefer drupal only because it is fully open source. Joomla is open source but most of the modules (that I"ve found anyway) cost $ and I don't have a budget. On the other hand I found joomla easier to get to a workable point, I never quite understood the drupal content model (stories, nodes etc) but that was from being in a hurry and not just spending a few hours going through it properly. I have found a lot of people with drupal skills, less with joomla, and most with joomla are making money while the drupal people I have worked with are all building social software sites for university backed research projects. Oh, and in my brief experience there seem to be many many more modules/plugins for drupal than joomla, drupal seems to have a much more active user/developer community. -- cheers Adrian Miles this email is bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private [x] vogmae.net.au
