On the Software Ecosystem Health of Open Source Content Management Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Choosing a content management system on which you rely your business is challenging because they need a healthy software ecosystem in order to function efficaciously. Unawareness of this will result in content managers having uncertainty about the future suitability of their chosen content management system. This study describes an empirical, inductive approach by comparing the software ecosystem health of the three most popular open source Content Management System platforms (WordPress, Joomla and Drupal) according to a number of health characteristics. Taking the software ecosystem health of a desired content management system into account enables stakeholders to make a more grounded decision in choosing either of the Content Management Systems. This could lead to a more suitable, dynamic and/or sustainable solution.
