Most Promising Open Source CMS: MODx, TYPOlight and dotCMS tie for second
The fun continues this week with Packt Publishing announcing another winner in their 2007 Open Source Content Management System Awards. Packt Publishing announced MODx as the winner of the Most Promishing Open Source CMS category!
Packt can exclusively reveal that MODx has won the Most Promising Open Source Content Management System in this year's Awards. As the fourth category winner, MODx came out on top ahead of TYPOlight and dotCMS, who came equal second.
Packt's announcement has a quote from MODx's co-founder, Ryan Thrash, stating that they "plan to live up to the Award title, and look forward to an incredible year for MODx complete with major releases, increased scalability and functionality, and even a few interesting surprises”.
Packt's Most Promising category is a very cool one and I think of all the award categories...this is the one that is most encouraging category for a young project. I'm in agreement with Packt Publishing's announcement that this is an "extremely competitive and high quality field".
Now, I'm embarrassed to say, we've covered very little of MODx here at CMSReport.com. I'm going to have to do a little better at focusing on all five finalists in the Most Promising category. All five are worthy of attention and I hope to find more about them in the future.
