In the past few days I’ve been reading a lot of reviews about Content Management Systems (CMS) at OpenSourceCMS. Great site by the way, lots of useful informations in there.

Although the site above has a lot of informations it’s really hard to find a CMS that fits your needs, most of the people who use this kind of tools are regular users and their main goal is to install and manage the CMS with success.

That way most of the reviews that I’ve found are written without a developers perspective.

At the moment I need to find a CMS that is Open Source, written in PHP under a Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, that has some good support/documentation and a big community behind it.

Till now, the only one that I found that fulfills the specs above is Joomla! Unfortunately I’ve already read some bad reviews on it, saying that it’s too complex and it’s code is a bit messy.

I’ll keep on searching, but in the next few days I’ll have to make a decision so that I can start working.

If you have any useful informations on this subject please tell me something.
