actually I personally would not employ/engage a person whose criterion for choosing a tool is 'what is easiest for me'. I need a person who would not mind struggling a bit to do the work with a tool that is best for me (ie, best for the customer). Yes, drupal is easy - excellent for the weekend warrior maintaining his own site. But for a developer with a conscience it is a nightmare - I remember looking at their site in August and notice about 60 odd security patches in 2009 alone. Imagine maintaining a dozen drupal sites and spending one's whole time applying the patches! Compared with plone or django, which do not even have a security page or a security mailing list. I set up a django site in 2005, and only visited it the other day because the customer wanted some enhancements. I am yet to visit the plone site I set up 2 years back. Of course many so-called developers do not have a conscience, they leave the site to the customer, and when it is cracked they say - 'why are you sleeping? Can you not see the hundreds of security patches you should have applied'. And php developers promoting python? verily they are worms in snake's skins ;-) -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Project Officer NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
