Extra levels is one thing that I am missing in PHP-Nuke, though anything
else about it I absolutely love. WordPress, which has recently taken a move
towards being a CMS (it already is a CMS in a sense), incorporates some
features which I wish I had in PHP-Nuke. A colleague of mine runs our LUG's
Web site on Mambo. He is happy with it, but I am not overly impressed. My
conclusion is that the best CMS will combine the best of all of these GPL'd
packages. I know a few other CMS packages, but only from afar (no hands-n
experience).
Speaking of phpBB2 (*cough* security holes *cough*) as a general CMS, I
think it is a terrible idea, much like manageing a site solely on Gallery
(version 2 coming out soon).
