The first valuable resource I found is wikipedia’s list of CMS’s, which is initially impressive, but I quickly found it overwhelming. To be perfectly honest, I don’t feel like sorting through a list of hundreds of CMS’s, I want a CMS that meets two sets of criteria: One, it has to meet my platform preferences, and two, it has to be in current cutting-edge development.

My platform preferences:

  • Linux 2.6
  • Apache 2.2
  • PHP 5
  • Mysql 5

My development preferences:

  • GNU license
  • In development 2+ years
  • The most downloads from Sourceforge.
  • The site with the highest traffic on Alexa.

While I have yet to document my results, which I plan to share later on this blog, the winner appears to be Joomla!. The only drawback to this point is that it does appear to require patience in implementation, something I lack! I spent a couple hours with it recently, and while I was impressed with it’s capability, I realized it would take signifcant experience to make it jump through the hoops I have in mind.
