Drupal versus Joomla versus Wordpress

[ergophobe]

Here's a video rundown on Drupal versus Joomla versus Wordpress that seems pretty good, though the main Joomla representative couldn't make it, so there is a gap there and the audio/video quality isn't great, especially I could not understand the questions. Still, a decent overview from someone who knows all three reasonably well.

Abstract:

There are nearly 3,000,000 search results from Google for the phrase "Open Source CMS Comparison." So, what are the important features people want? How do Drupal, Joomla!, and WordPress stack up? How does "community" factor into powering innovation and deployment and what governance, work processes, and cultural differences exist? How is a competitive spirit helpful and where might strengthening collaboration between projects result in better software?

42 min video?! that is too long to even want to start watching.

Maybe for tire-kickers, the idly interested or people who already are familiar with all three.

But if you don't really know them and are getting ready to invest hundreds of hours into building a site and want to choose the right platform, 42 minutes seems like an awfully small investment to me.
