2006 年最佳 Open Source CMS

Packt publishing 在去年舉辦了最佳 Open Source 內容管理系統獎，在經過幾輪的票選後，結果在11月公佈，前三名分別是 Joomla!、Drupal、Plone。

在票選結果的 公佈網頁上 可以看到 Joomla! 與 Drupa 競爭的相當激烈，最後由 Joomla! 勝出。不過網頁上提到，要選出最佳的 CMS 實不容易，因為這幾個 CMS 都各有所長，好或不好端賴使用者的目的。除了參加決選的這三套 CMS外，初選入圍的還有 e107 及 Xoops。這5套 CMS 各自的特色分別如下：

Drupal

• Has been around for quite some time and is stable and actively developed
• Well coded and has an available granular permissions system and a strong eye for security
• Configuration was a breeze
• Lightweight installation
• Plethora of modules and themes

• The node concept is very good

e107

• Easy to setup and install
• Wide selection of themes and modules
• Provides lots of flexibility
• Backend seems well put together
• Drop down menu is a nice touch and is organized well

Joomla!

• Very easy to install and use with lots of extensions and modules
• The documentation is exhaustive and concise
• Admin user interface is intuitive and powerful

• Very flexible and powerful
• Great user interface
• Very clean default installation
• Lots of addon modules

• Lots of functionality
• Mature and has a very good permissions system

最近我們準備要更換圖書館網站的版面，我提出了採用 Open Source 的CMS系統。若真的決定要從傳統網頁轉換為 CMS，這樣子的改變可真不小，所以真的要好好的評估才是。除了上述的資訊可以參考外，自由軟體鑄造場電子報除了在第73 及74 期針對 Joomla! 做了詳細的介紹外(見延申閱讀) ，相信應該也有介紹過其他幾套CMS才對。
