[clug] CMS usage in Canberra

[Jessica Fryer]

Over here in not-for-profit land Wordpress is supposed to be the most
sensible 'budget-conscious' choice of the moment as Joomla and Drupal
apparently require a fair bit of skill to administer and so you pick them
only if you really have a huge project in mind that requires all their
endless options.  Open-source and open-platform is doing well in NFP because
it ties in nicely with a member database for members-only content and your
CRM but proprietary "solutions" also sell.

There's a local product called Kontent that's supposed to be incredible (but
expensive).  Other local companies are selling their own product or any
number of other proprietary or open-source stuff.  To be honest I hear about
a new CMS product every time I ask the question!
