For what CMS can you create your own module easily?

Would probably reword this to something like '... can you extend the functionality easily?' since the term 'module' is either ambiguous or has actual CMS-specific meaning. – Bobby Jack Mar 15 '12 at 11:52

Aren't we supposed to avoid creating lists? Why do people think this would be a good question? – animuson Mar 23 '12 at 23:26
On the WordPress SE, we don't do plugin/theme recommendations (see wordpress.stackexchange.com/faq). I think that should be a rule here too. – Camil Staps Mar 13 at 17:37

This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.

The answers would have something to do with content > area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/15215/… or SEO > webmasters.stackexchange.com – Knu Feb 3 '11 at 17:23

What CMS offers the best email management/integration?

IMO it's not specific enough (and "best" always leads to subjective answers) – Knu May 17 '11 at 13:03

How about what CMS allows you to create email templates (like page, post) and then publish those to a list. In essence allowing for your website to become your publishing hub for all your digital marketing. – Chris Kluis May 17 '11 at 14:39
