Hi Drupal folks
I'm doing research to decide what CMS to use for a complex community-choice competitions system I'm doing for the large global development charity organization: www.ashoka.org
The main CMS options I am considering are
Drupal Mambo TYPO3 WebGUI and Xaraya
After making a choice, I'll most likely hire developers that specialize in that CMS to help me customize it for the project needs.
To help decide what CMS to use and who to hire, I'm looking for examples of great community sites that use these CMS and that demonstrate the following attributes...
1. Scalable for mass community use
For example, sites will not crash with 100,000 visitors and hundreds of logged-in users using the site on a daily basis day.
2. Multi-site Deployment
Host multiple web sites that use the same installation. Each site has its own domain, permissions, languages, templates and content. It should be possible for some roles (e.g. super-admin, lead editor, organization members) to use the same login in multiple sites, or better yet, maintain a continuous login session and user profile across multiple sites.
3. Multi-lingual
Editor interfaces and content should support most popular languages. Ideal examples would include Arabic, Hebrew, and Chinese.
4. Granular Privileges
Admin should be able to create custom user types, roles or groups that specify permissions for what data a user can see, what they can edit, as well as what features they can access.
