CMS Features & Functions - What about Improvements?

Post by carnavia »

This thread is dedicated to coming up with ideas to improve Content Management Systems. I'd like to direct the conversation toward eliminating version incompatibility, adding more features (setting options), and improving all other existing features such as the text editor.

Any ideas? If no one replies right away, I'm going to throw in a couple of ideas to get this discussion moving.

Throw in some ideas anyways.

An architecturally sound implementation of Drupal and Joomla, with the usability and ease of use of WordPress would be awesome. :)

Cheers,
Alex

I want to expand on these. Let's start with email validation. The emails have to validate depending on the settings of the website owner. for the blog portion, the forum portion, and just filling out forms and registering. What is the best way to go about this.

and What do you like about Joomla and Drupal and Wordpress? Please be specific.
