Thanks Bryan. I used similar criteria to yours, but have to say I am still a Drupal person at heart.

Hi Elliot,

As a judge also on the most promising panel, it was nice to see there was "universal approval from the judges" regarding SilverStripe. Given the flexibility the judging panel has in determining the top 3 CMS...I'm always concerned that the way I'm judging a CMS may not lead to the same conclusion as others on the panel. Like you, I was impressed with SilverStripe's UI.

I posted on my own blog notes and comments for how I judged all five CMS. In case you're interested... http://cmsreport.com/content/judging-five-most-promising-content-managem...

I was a judge this year on Packt Publishing's Most Promising Open Source CMS award: the results have just been announced. The winner was SilverStripe.

I was personally impressed by the slickness of the interface, and by the fact that it has been designed to scale well to large websites. The developers have obviously thought carefully about the architecture, and are aiming for the "CMS plus web platform" approach of Drupal. I was also personally impressed by the responsiveness of the development team, their willingness to work in the community, and the clarity of their vision for the product. Worthy winners. Give it a look.
