CMS Shootout!

Which CMS should you use on your project? Let's compare and contrast!

We'd had multiple folks in our local Drupal community volunteer to demo a site in a competing CMS. We'll compare the features and functionality in Drupal terms that we use all the time:

• Content types and fields
• Permissions and access control
• E-commerce
• Theming
• Contributed ecosystem
• Plugin/module development
• Contributed ecosystem
• Community
• System requirements
• Learning curve
• SEO
• Scaling

And here are the contenders:

• Drupal (Just to set the stage and define the categories)

• Wordpress by Nate Flint of Oxbow Labs

• ModX by Caleb Thorne of Monarch Digital

• Shopify by Jordan Haber of Oxbow Labs

• Rails by Nate Flint of Oxbow Labs

• Django by Caleb Thorne of Monarch Digital

Each of these demos and comparisons will just be an overview (about 15 to 20 minutes). This should be a fun meetup.

Location. We're in room B2 at the 21st Century Library. This is a popular venue. Be aware: This is a smaller room. We'll be starting right on time because we want to get through all this material.
