CMS Smackdown!

Revise

There are so many CMS's out there, which one is right for me? Invite 6 product specialists of a range of local and international CMS's to give 10 minute overview of:

-Where it fits in (eg open source, purchase, etc)
-Level of complexity (eg is it a basic system, or is it designed for complex systems, enterprise, etc)
-Publishing (baked versus fried)
-Compliance
-Main features and benefits (compared to other systems, eg large developers base, lots of plugins, easy to customise, highly scalable, etc)
-A typical scenario (Eg hobby sites, blogs, company sites, education, enterprise, etc)
-Recommendations (Eg don’t use it for simple sites because it is overkill, or, do use it if you want to do lots of customisation, etc)

Great idea. Although I'd hate to see it turn into a slinging match.

Leevi Graham has my vote for ExpressionEngine.

Do people really learn anything of value though from a 10 minute overview of a CMS? It's a pretty major decision, and I tend to think if you're in the business of making this decision, you really should already be aware of any information that could possible be covered in a 10 minute overview.

From my view, its about exposure to the CMS. Getting to see the Admin functions in use, and the tricks. Something that is going to save me time. Allow me to add or discount another CMS from my list of recommendations.

True a short overview doesn't help much at all, besides show you that it exists.

CMS Conference anyone?
