Congrats to Joomla, but I like Drupal better. Both are great though!
ok ok , I’m finally going to try Joomla.
Personally, I’m using WebAPP, a multilingual, open source CMS Perl portal on several websites and it’s great.
It takes 3 minutes to install (including the uploading time!), its safer, faster and has nearly infinite amount of features and resources. An most important its written in REAL Perl (CGI).

I used Joomla last time for our WoW Guild Homepage. We had some good time with the modifications.
