Edit Entry in MovableType 4
Image via Wikipedia

PCWorld: “Ninety-one percent of sites running the blogging tool Movable Type showed critical vulnerabilities, about the same as the 92 percent of sites using the Joomla! content management system, the 95 percent running Mediawiki, and the 85 percent using phpMyAdmin database management software.

The worst application for critical vulnerabilities was phpBB, a forum system, which showed issues in 100 percent of sites, while applications faring slightly better included Moodle (74 percent affected), Drupal (70 percent), and SPIP (65 percent affected).”

Someone does another Drupal vs Joomla comparison

July 16, 2010 · Posted in CMS, Drupal, Joomla · Comment 

It has been an extremely long time since I’ve done any type of comparision between Drupal and Joomla!. While I like to keep a close eye on both of these open source content management systems…I just haven’t felt the need to compare the two applications with each other. The rhythm of each of the two CMS are so different that I honestly don’t know what I would write in the Drupal vs Joomla post. Comparing Drupal and Joomla with each other is like comparing Country music and Jazz with each genre not really capable of diminishing the importance of the other.

This isn’t to say such comparisons can’t be interesting and useful. I definitely know how popular Drupal vs. Joomla! articles can be and the number of visitors such articles will bring to a site.  If you’re interested in reading a new Drupal vs Joomla article, you can find such an article at Achieve Internet.

Some of the comparisons are out of date or lack sufficient technical detail to fully support their conclusions. Furthermore, both Joomla! and the Drupal CMS are on the verge of releasing new versions, Joomla! 1.6 and Drupal 7, that will move both products in a positive direction.

This series of articles attempts to address where the technologies stand now, with a keen eye on the fact that both are moving targets as they approach new releases. The focus will be on using the web design software to build enterprise level websites, including those for large businesses, government agencies, and sizable non-profits, as this is the focus of Achieve Internet, based in San Diego, CA. We will examine the following topics from a technical perspective: baseline content management system (CMS) functionality, back-end appearance and functionality, and coding & customization.

If you’re interested in hearing more from Achieve Internet, the article you’ll want to read is Joomla! vs. Drupal for enterprise web development, Part 1.
