Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Drupal

"It is rare that a Drupal implementation team does not utter the words "there is a module that does that." However, it does take some time for the module developers to catch up to the architectural changes introduced by each major release of the core. Module developers are responsible for testing and giving honest descriptions on the state of their modules (such as alpha, beta, and what version of the core the module is compatible with). A big part of the version compatibility issues with modules is that module developers do not have standard ways to interact with Drupal resources so they write their own database queries and directly access the file system. When the Drupal core changes the way it stores its data, modules break. There is no central body to evaluate modules or state what version they are compatible with. Unfortunately, the best information about the quality of a module is still usually word of mouth by the Drupal specialists who are constantly experimenting with new modules as they are released. "

More about The Web CMS Report 2009

Our customers say

"The reviews of various CMS packages in the Web CMS report is well-structured, allowing readers with different roles to easily examine each product in detail and quickly make comparisons between products. But even better than the excellent product reviews is the clearly-written, comprehensive, and non-biased explanations of the Web CMS landscape. In addition to making it easier to more fully-appreciate the massive amounts of product information, it also provides readers with great guidance that will assist them with any CMS selection and implementation.
