[wp-hackers] Regional Author Groups and Permission

[Guus (IFS)]

Hi David,

I developed my own 'developer' framework that is suitable for advanced 
custom build database driven websites, but if you want Open Source I would 
look into Joomla or Zend or something like that. There are more, but those 
are the ones I know a bit.

Wordpress in my opinion is good for simple websites and blogging, but is not 
that suitable for advanced web applications,

Guus

Hi Guus,
Do you have any other framework suggestions?
