Nothing against Ghost, but I've spent about a decade in the area of content management and publishing and don't recognise 1 or 2. The proprietary market leader is AEM which is atrocious to actually implement once you get past their sales demos, and in open source you have Drupal which is a well proven solution for large and small scale publishing, particularly relevant with Drupal 8 and its publishing focused distro Thunder (both particularly adept at services and deployment, tricky areas in publishing)
- type0 10y agoI like Drupal but I would not advise anyone to start a new project on it. Not in a world where we have Django CMS and Wagtail.
- dreamfactory2 10y agoseriously Django and Wagtail? The key challenge any open source platform finds with corporate adoption is support/maintenance and that is largely answered by longevity, size of community and adoption, as well as large Ubuntu or Redhat style private companies behind it offering SLA's, professional services and so on. This is where Drupal and Wordpress shine.
