Kerasia looking at Plone and Drupal

In trolling around for some statistics on CMS blogs, I came across an item at "Ask Metafilter."  The NGO asking for advice was requesting a comparison of frameworks, specifically Plone vs Drupal.  In the absence of any enumerated requirements in the posting, some took the author to task about requirements-based determination of correct tools.  However, of the 15 replies most were vitriolic about Plone and advocating Drupal.  

That said, it was clear from the comments that most were based on obsolete, fragmentary, or limited knowledge of Plone.  Not only is this an opportunity to make an informed statement to an NGO in need, but also a chance to reverse some clear misunderstandings about Plone.  I suggest anyone interested in Plone advocacy in the NGO arena head on over to Ask Metafilter and make a well-reasoned posting.  The initial request went up on April 13, so its a very fresh thread.

You may want to check out Matt Bowen's (cc'ed) comprehensive article
on Plone vs. Drupal
(http://m.odul.us/2007/09/02/plone-vs-drupal-take-one) and the article
that appeared on Idealware's website
http://www.idealware.org/articles/joomla_drupal_plone.php that
compares Plone, Drupal and Joomla.

As with any review, you really should download these products and try
them for yourself.
