Well, as such - I do not have hands-on experience on CMS. However, it appears that Drupal http://drupal.org/ is the best among Open Source Softwares. According to http://www.packtpub.com/award The top ones are: 1) Drupal http://drupal.org/- Often compared with Joomla/Mambo, Drupal is a solid, high quality platform that are claimed to be user friendly and well liked by web developers. 2) Joomla http://www.joomla.org/ - One of the most popular and commonly used CMS today. 3) CMS made simple http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/ - A much simpler solution that is fast to learn, easy to use. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC.

Dear All,

We are planning to implement a "Content Management System" to manage the content in our organisation. Please let me know of any good CMS application that we can use.

Please also indicate its user-friendliness, cost, ease of implementation, if ready-to-use tutorials are available, size of content it can handle, number of users. etc.

Kindly share your experiences with the same.
