Should I change to a new CMS?

By: Mr. Wilson on April 14, 2005
Here's a matter few people besides me actually care about: I'm thinking about converting Lincolnite.com to a different content management system (CMS). Currently I use Expression Engine (EE) by pMachine. It's a commercial product, and it is relatively powerful. Best of all, the support is great. But progress toward new versions has been slow, and EE is missing a few features I would like to see. Enter Xaraya. I started playing around with Xaraya because my employer may use it as a CMS for its websites. Xaraya is incredibly powerful, very extensible, and totally customizable. The more I play around with Xaraya, the more amazed I become. And it's free. The downside is there is a huge learning curve. I still don't have a clue how Xaraya's templating scheme works. I have printed off and read about 100 pages of documentation, and I'm only just beginning to apply that information to test pages for what could become a new -- and much improved -- Lincolnite.com. Anyway, I'm probably just talking to myself here. If anybody has any thoughts, let me know.
