[TriLUG] OT: Website Administrator position

[Jim Ray]

My documentation is pure opinion. I tried both and chose Joomla.
Certainly, you are welcome to do as you choose.

Unless you'd care to back that one up with some kind of documentation
I'm going to parse that as pure noise.

Drupal blows grits compared to Joomla and reminds me of assembly
language regarding complexity. I'm sorry. My little ole pea brain can't
hang any more with complexity.

Drupal = win, especially if you're multihosting.

I'm not necessarily sold on Joomla as a final solution.  To be honest,
I'll
support whatever the new person decides they want to use.  I am hoping
to
accomplish a few things here:

   1. Bring in another open source advocate.
   2. Switch our current Dreamweaver/IIS infrastructure over to an open
   source solution.
   3. Have another knowledgeable linux person that can help me with
   creating/supporting websites in apache (we host domain websites for
our
   local churches).

Having open source advocates send in their resumes stack the deck in my
favor.  Anything that helps me get that cursed IIS server out of my
server
room is a great help.

What do you think is better than Joomla?
