Open Source CMS Award for 2009

November 12th, 2009 by Afraithe

TinyMCE

I went over the different CMS that won or became runners up in each category to check who uses TinyMCE. I downloaded the package or checked their online demo to verify.

Most Promising Open Source CMS Category

ImpressCMS – TinyMCE included by default.

Pixie – TinyMCE included by default.

Pligg – Not included, integration instructions exists, seems they have no default editor?

Best Open Source PHP CMS

Drupal – TinyMCE is a downloadable module (everything in Drupal is modules), seems to be extremely popular.

WordPress – TinyMCE included by default.

Joomla – TinyMCE included by default.

Best Other Open Source CMS

Plone – TinyMCE included by default in upcoming release.

dotCMS – TinyMCE included by default.

mojoPortal – TinyMCE included but also other editors, not known if it is turned on by default or not.

UPDATE:

Overall best Open Source CMS

This category was announced after I made this post.

WordPress – Already mentioned above.

SilverStripe – TinyMCE included by default.

MODx – TinyMCE included by default.

Out of 11 different Open Source CMS, TinyMCE is included by default in 9 of them! If you make the same check towards commercial CMS you would probably find a similar figure. The download figures for TinyMCE on Sourceforge pales in comparison with the figures these different Open Source CMS has.

TinyMCE is without doubt the most used WYSIWYG editor out there, thank you all for that.

    The reason why it is the most used editor out there is also very simple.

    It is the best editor out there. At least if you combine code generated, plug-ability adaptability and such. There are others that win only in 1 area or such but combined Tiny is by far the best.

    Congrats to you guys! I can feel the pride from here. It’s good to take stock in your achievements every once in a while, to realize how far things have come.

    Congratulations and thanks for making the editor. You also could add Zenphoto to the list of CMS using it by default.

    Slightly off topic but TinyMCE is also used in the open source LMS OLAT, winner of both the
    IMS Learning Impact Leadership Award and Swiss OpenSource Award 2008.

    Great job guys!

    Congratulations! Note that TinyMCE is also used by several of the leading email marketing CMS systems including Vertical Response and My Newsletter Builder. Thanks for helping us as we integrated TinyMCE with our software and tweaked it for the particulars of different HTML email clients. We’re delighted with the results.
