See http://www.cmsreview.com > Resources > Directories. I wrote about this for EContent. http://www.econtentmag.com/Articles/ArticleReader.aspx?ArticleID=14534 A few of these directories offer product comparisons. At CMS Review, we separate the open-source from the proprietary. Besides CMS Review, see http://www.cmsmatrix.org. Be aware that you can get the open-source CMS hosted for you, so you need minimal in-house IT support. See http://www.opensourcecms.com for references. Hope this helps, Bob. Reegan D.
