2008 will be the year of the open source CMS

Posted on Mar 04, 2008

Techrepublic.com is one of the most trafficked websites and blogs on the web, "A Resource for IT Professionals". In one of their recent blog posts - 2008 will be the year of the open source CMS - Joomla gets mentioned! The post talks about how open source content management systems see a big jump in popularity in 2008.

OK, so I'll admit, I was the author ;), but I really do think we will see this happening this year:

In 2008 we will see open source CMS Web sites become mainstream.

There is a confluence between the development of CMSs (making them easier to use and more reliable) and the popularization of open source software (making it a more viable and acceptable option). People who want a Web site, whether for a blog about their kids, hard hitting news (both Drupal), voting for a candidate or to get some smack down (both Joomla) will choose a FOSS solution. A critical mass has been achieved of higher profile sites that have made it a credible option, as evidenced by a “Top Web Gadgets of 2007″ article from NPR.

What do you think?
