I'm not familiar with Drupal, but very much like Concrete5 (concrete5.org) where it is extremely easy to convert HTML/CSS/JS theme into Concrete5 one. Moreover, different page types just define areas on the page where user can then freely put different type of content via blocks. > * Comments and stuff, as components (with ajax loading, etc.) > * Categories/tags/.. managed by assigning "tags" to stuff (not only to > content, possibly to users or other entities).

Blog, comments, categories and tags are e.g. in Concrete5 realized via add-ons or different 'Blog plugins' and does not belong to the core. > * Everything is translatable.

Concrete5 uses gettext, *.po/mo files and every translatable function is prefixed with t(). Finally, Concrete5 is CMS written on top of MVS framework which enables developers to easily develop different add-on like blogs, news, ecommerce modules etc., so I believe that web2py CMS should take advantage of its framework and provide API for developers so that it can be easily enhanced. Please, take a look at Concrete5. Sincerely, Gour -- You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action.
