The description specifically mentions WordPress, but WP already has its own SE site. I think the reference should be removed to avoid scope conflict. – Artem Kaznatcheev Sep 5 '11 at 3:31

This website will also be a safeguard for obsolete CMSes: if WP eventually loses his momentum it will be safely folded back into CMS & Blog Engines. – Knu Oct 10 '11 at 16:38

For what CMS can you create your own module easily?
added by Am1rr3zA, edited by WikiSpeedia hang-around Jan 29 '11 at 8:51

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 at 11:52

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

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

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
