Hello,

Peter Monks posted a great review of the different Web CMS's, you can read more here, http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/pmonks/2008/11/05/web-cmss-dissected.

He talks about web CMS's falling into two main categories:

   1. Content Production Systems (CPS)
   2. Presentation Management Systems (PMS)

While there is some overlap, Alfresco, at least at its current version can be considered a content production system, while Joomla is firmly in the presentation management camp.

I encourage you to read the full article, it is very imformative.

It seems there are many extrusive advantages in Joomla.

I plan to build my website with Joomla, but currently I have very poor literacy in Joomla, so hope I can get some helpful knowledge from this forum, also Alfresco, Nancy pointed out it is a nice CPS
