That is how I feel towards drupal, a free and open source content management system, covered earlier. Powerful third party recognition keeps adding up:
- By Google, in the context of its Summer of Code program;
- By IBM, in the context of its ongoing series of article on Using open source software to design, develop, and deploy a collaborative Web site, drupal was selected over Mambo, Typo3, Movable Type, Wordpress and Text Pattern; noticably taking note of drupal's founder Dries Buytaert desire to focus on simplicity and usability;
- By Forrester Research, listing drupal as a "strong performer".
