I posted a couple weeks ago about Joomla.  Since I have now used Joomla on a couple sites, I’ve made a small wish-list of features that are missing from that particular CMS.  One of the most obvious ones is a granular permissions system.  I was eagerly awaiting the release of version 1.5 which just went beta yesterday.  However, the granular permissions which I thought might be there, did not appear to be.

So I’m on a mission to find the perfect CMS that can do everything.  It has to be free open source, php and mysql based, easy to set up a template, should have granular permissions.  Of course I want as many extras as possible.  Someone had pointed me toward something called “Harmony”, but after scouring Google, I cannot find any information about any CMS called “Harmony”.  Well, there was this, but I’m pretty sure that’s not it.

If you’re in the market for a CMS, I definitely recommend CMSMatrix.  They have categorized hundreds of free and commercial CMS packages, and there are a ton of search options.  My short list is Drupal, Sitellite, and Typo3.  I’ll be evaluating these three in the coming weeks and I’ll report back here.
