    I am Going to be releasing a new site soon. Due to issues i don't know if i want to keep my current joomla website or make a new site in a different cms. This is a list of Cms's i have access to, which do you think is the best.[List at end]

    The website i am trying to create is a collection of text files with forum integration (possibly smf) and user management. The users should be able to submit text files but only in a plain text editor. Hopefully there should be a link manager and the ability to have the users have default submitting rights. I know its a lot to ask but what do you think would best fit this criteria?


    Drupal
    Geeklog
    Joomla
    Mambo Open Source
    PHP-Nuke
    phpWCMS
    phpWebSite
    Post-Nuke
    Siteframe
    TYPO3
    Xoops


    it should also be seo friendly. Any help would be appreciated.

    Well it seems that i will be keeping my joomla website, the other question in have is what components mods or mambots would you recommend to pull this type of website off? I have been doing some tests myself but its always good to get a recommendation. The main thing i could not yet find was the plain text editor.
