My take is that Drupal and SharePoint are really very different systems, though I can see why people compare them

Last night, the Drupal Association confirmed media reports that the Drupal.org site was hacked, with passwords and user registration information potentially compromised

Security is a touchy subject in the Web CMS world in general and very touchy in particular among open source WCXM projects, since open source platforms are frequently accused (often unfairly) of being inherently insecure by dint of their more open development models.

So it's been interesting to watch some Plone adherents contrast their platform's security profile to that of some major competitors

Beyond the age-old debate between open source and proprietary software communities, one truism has persisted over the years: when there is one technology platform dominates in any market for any sizable period, we all suffer

When we recently updated our "Vendor Subway Map" to include our latest research streams -- Digital Marketing and Broadcast/Media Asset Management - there was some comment as to how we place open source projects amongst commercial vendors

I had lunch the other day with a couple of acquaintances who work at a systems integrator (SI) that does a lot of work for the federal government (a.k.a., "beltway bandit").

They pointed out that, like SharePoint of yore, Drupal was all the rage among US federal web managers under this current administration. So naturally this SI went looking for experienced Drupal talent. And could not find any

SharePoint licensees seeking to deliver on the promise of social networking and more advanced collaboration applications must choose among three alternative approaches to close the gap

We recently updated our Enterprise Collaboration and Social Software Report. Key highlights for this update:

Perhaps you're thinking about adding some "2.0" to your site or intranet, to obtain that great user generated content (UGC) -- but where do you start? You start with commenting, of course

An omnibus platform like SharePoint presents two challenges to Microsoft in the web publishing arena:

1. It doesn't employ the very latest version of .NET
2. Long update cycles means it can fall behind functionally

Neither challenge is prohibitive, but both are potentially problematic

We've just updated our evaluations of five Web CMS offerings, and added a new one (Atex Polopoly) to our report

After a long wait, extended several times, Drupal 7 was released today. So what is it like, and should you rush over to download and install it right away?
