2 good comparisons of CMS can be found at the following links:
Joomla and Drupal – Which One is Right for You? – Alledia
These 2 articles demonstrate that drupal is the right system for us, but at the same time comes with a number of limitations we have to live with.
If you wish to play around with a Joomla or Mambo site, I can give you an admin password to the following mockups:

Want a hosted drupal, Mediawiki, Moodle or Joomla site? A most cost-effective way to learn the potential of these applications is Siteground:
Web Hosting Services: All-inclusive website hosting package, Free blog and CMS, Free domain, top customer care. SiteGround – the best Web Space Hosting Provider
At 6 $/month, this is possibly the best way to go through the learning cycle of some of these tools.
A long-standing question on multiple languages in Drupal. It’s definitely not my intention to embark on a multi-language venture, but you can see and test what is possible.
Look at the test site where I’ve added French, Spanish and Russian as languages. If you now browse any story or page (when logged in as moderator), a translation tab will appear.
It might be an alternative to some of the language chapters. Let’s just see what the system can do for the moment.
If you go to the LE site, you will notice a ‘related content’ block at the bottom of each node. This is based on the taxonomy and offers users other LE nodes with similar content. Currently, the number of related nodes is set to five, but this number can be easily changed (we may modify it to lucky 7).
Often, the related nodes are very relevant. They are an elegant mechanism to enhance the user experience in ‘browse mode’. Sometimes though, the related nodes are less relevant, In such case, the node needs some loving care to upgrade its taxonomy.
Hope this will evolve to be a nice feature to increase the number of page visits per user.
Dear colleagues,
A great news for the ones among us who are struggling with full html code when embedding a video in Drupal.
Apparently a video module exists and we may want to try it.
