Checking in today, I find myself with more questions than I do knowledge to share. Therefore, I have decided to post a set of open questions to you all:

• Do you have any experience using Content Management Systems (CMS, like PHPNuke or Joomla) or Church Management Systems (ChMS, like the Web Empowered Church)? If so, which one(s)?
• Do you have any experience installing and/or maintaining a CMS or ChMS? If so, which one(s)?
• What are your overall opinions of CMS and ChMS setups? What are the advantages and disadvantages of them?

I've just been thinking a lot about these types of systems recently. I have experience with both PHPNuke and PostNuke in the past on other projects, but I've never been fully satisfied with the results. Being a developer myself, that's why I wrote the blog software for this site. I wanted more control over things than any CMS could give me.

I have yet to try any of the ChMS systems currently out there because I figure I'll run into the same kind of situation.

I look forward to hearing from all of you about your experiences.

EDIT: Wednesday, Ruben over at BlogMinistry added his thoughts on Drupal and Joomla.
