Recently I have gotten quite a few questions about why we chose to move stmarkdc.org from Joomla! to Drupal. Our main motivators were Drupal’s taxonomy system that allows for tagging with granular access control (allows a ministry to update only their section and nothing else) and polished multi-lingual support. Drupal is a little more complex to get up and running but for sites with a lot of content the flexibility is great.

We are looking forward to moving OrthodoxSermons.org to Drupal in the near future, we have begun talks with a vendor who is an expert in Drupal media sites - more details coming soon.
