NYCPHP Meetup

[Chris Hendry]

In the end it was the rapid development environment and low entry level (for
development) that sold me on it.

I can roll out custom components for clients in days instead of weeks, not
having to worry about setting up an admin interface, authentication,
widgets, paging, etc...

| 
| This is not a troll.
| 
| Why did you choose Mambo?  There are over 200 CMS projects, 
| most of them open source, on Freshmeat.net.
| 
| About a year ago I installed about 7 CMS projects on my Apache server.
| All used php and mysql.
| I found that I could not evaluate them without installing and 
| configuring them.
| 
| Mambo was one of the CMS projects I installed.  I don't 
| remember what I did not like about it, but I found a few 
| others were more mature.  I met the Mambo developers at 
| LinuxWorld in NYC last year and two weeks ago in Boston.  I 
| still was not convinced.
| 
| I found three I liked:
|   Geeklog (Groklaw runs on it)
|   Drupal
|   E107
| 
| I ended up using Geeklog because I liked it's security 
| structure better.

| Why did you choose Mambo?
