Drupal

                    • Content Management System
                    • Content Management Framework
                    • Community

      @nateritter: I won't use Drupal because (1) the
infrastructure is horrendous (2) the admin display sucks (3)
                      usability is painful.

@chx1975: Sometimes I really hate the Drupal
  quot;communityquot; explosion. I feel like what the Romans could
      have felt when Visigoths appeared at the gates.
