WordPress, an open-source blogging tool, won the 2010 Open Source awards for Hall of Fame CMS. This award is for open source CMS tools that have won the open source award in the past.
WordPress won after being in a tie with Drupal and an independent judge was brought in to declare the winner. WordPress has been getting more and more robust in its capabilities as a content management system, and its very easy to install and use.
Other award winners include:
- Best Open Source CMS: CMS Made Simple
- Most Promising Open Source Project: Pimcore
- Best Open Source E-Commerce Applications: PrestaShop
- Best Open Source Graphics Software: Blender
- Best Open Source JavaScript Libraries: jQuery
Congratulations to all the Winners!
As a coincidence, I have started using it too, so it’s the only CMS I use now.
With the new version (3.0.x) it even has custom menus (where you can nest everything in everything), so I don’t have to compensate for their absence with scripting as I did in previous versions.
The only problem I have with it is that it’s not multilingual. I mean, it has localization, but I usually have to make websites with more than one language, so right now I’m compensating only for this part with extra coding… I wonder if there’s a good plug-in for that.
I think word-press is best CMS and easy to operate.
