Welp, the mad scientists up at 'corePHP' in Battle Creek have gone and done it. As if the WordPress + Joomla! marriage of CMSes wasn't enough for their franken-CMS laboratory, they've gone and invitro-fertilized a Drupal egg with some Joomla! goodness, giving us - you guessed it - Droomla!

Aside from the gory detail of whether Droomla was delivered via C-Section, one wonders, why'd the folks at corePHP lash together Drupal and Joomla DNA, all in one CMS? A few reasons, which boil down to the following:

1. Get all the power of Drupal with Joomla! ease of use.
2. Short learning curve to get Drupal-esque site up
3. Access over 7,000 NEW Drupal-powered extensions (modules)
4. Easier templating options from the Joomla-side
5. Built-in capabilities such as blog engine, document repository, nested categories, etc.

We're excited that the folks over at The Acquity Group stepped up to produce a great one-hour presentation for JoomlaChicago tomorrow. They'll be doing an unvarnished comparison and contrast of four of the top Open Source Web CMS solutions for enterprise:

 - Joomla!
 - Drupal
 - Alfresco
 - Magnolia

Last year, we compared Joomla! and Drupal. The goal at the end of the day is to see which WCM is best suited for certain situations. We'll be posting the report online. Stay tuned!
