gizaI'm looking at replacing my PHP codebase that powers claws-and-paws.com with a Content Management System. The reason being that the PHP code is nice, but it's showing its age, and I don't see the point in continuing to work on it when there are CMSes out there that do the same thing.
I've done some investigation, and have narrowed the choices down to Plone and Drupal. The first is written in Python and uses its own DBMS, and the second is written in PHP and uses MySQL. I have no problems with either technology. It's more of a question ease of use and potential impact on my server, seeing that it's a virtual machine with only 128 Megs of RAM.
I'm leaning slightly towards Drupal because it won't require me to set up Zope (which would be used for nothing else) and can make use of my existing Apache setup. (however, it forces me to set up MySQL, ugh) It is also the CMS for spreadfirefox.com, so I know it can handle volume. :-)
Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts or any anecdotes on these products?
