Review of Bryan Ruby's Blog post re: Drupal Vs. Joomla!

Here is a great review by Bryan Ruby of CMS Report of Alledia's refreshed comparison of Drupal vs. Joomla!. As President of a company that has implemented both Joomla! and Drupal, our team has definitely been leaning heavily toward Drupal. One of our team members, Conor McNamara, blogged about our collective experiences a few months ago.

With regard to the comment post by Alledia, I would hardly call a Google search as proof of either volume or quality of Web design/development shops that are qualified to implement either product -- either in a workgroup or enterprise. These search results are generally easy to manipulate with clever 'link juicing'. I would suggest that there are probably nowhere near 75 million resources that implement these three products globally -- the number is more in the tens of thousands. Thus, the Google stats are fairly irrelevant.

However, I would submit that a really great endeavor would be for someone to take on the project of creating a directory of WCMS integrators, developers, designers for all three camps. What a worthwhile buyers guide that would be! You can find some of that information on the www.Drupal.org site, although it is a hard list to get on. Still another place for that information is www.acquia.com, where that company certifies Drupal shops.
