[K12OSN] OT: Moodle vs Plone

[Timothy Hart]

I would have to throw Drupal (drupal.org) out there as well. In my opinion
it is cleaner an dbetter designed than Joomla. I have used both but find
myself leaning towards Drupal more often.

Moodle really is a "course" management system. While it can be used for
websites, it is not meant to be a content management system.

You will be happy with either Drupal or Joomla.

Check out www.opensourcecms.com and you can try them out for yourslef
without installing them.
