  1. Madam / Sir, I'm a small-to-medium scale website developer and I started out using wordpress and joomla. Then I took a big step and tried Drupal 7. It was hard going but having finished my first really responsive "big" website (an e-learning platform with a multitude of users) I always wonder if there might be a better CMS in the internet universe. That's how I found this discussion (I entered the phrase "Better than Drupal" into Google ...) I'm not afraid of coding as long as I find some hints on the web that I'm on the right track. That's what made Drupal 7 the means of choice in my case for if I need to implement some special functionality, there was always someone out there who had the same issue and at least a partial solution. How is this with Processwire? * Say, I need a special content which can only be viewed by people who know a password but don't have to be registered with the site? * And only on this special content type the users knowing the password are allowed to answer comments of other users? (These were requirements by a free learning association funded by the bavarian government [yes, I'm bavarian].) And by altering the great theme "Corolla" a bit (by moving the logo into the navigation block) I got a responsive theme working from wide-screen (1145px) to small-screen (200px) without looking cheesy in any of the intermediate resolution. It took me about six month to get there but now it works quite well. My questions are (besides the ones above marked with "*"): 1) What literature is to be had on Processwire which can bring me up to speed in a very short time? 2) How big and friendly is the community. (The German Drupal community is rude and and acting aloof, the English-speaking community is very polite and helpful especially the maintainer of the superfish module)? 3) Are there responsive Processwire themes and which ones are the most modification-friendly? 4) What is the nearest equivalent to the Drupal module "Views"? 5) Is there a module like "Webform" for Drupal? 6) And: within the European Union ("EU") - bavaria is unfortunately part of the EU (and Germany for that matter) - there is an "EU Cookie Guideline". When this guideline raised its ugly head there were about four Drupal modules I could choose from which addressed said EU red tape. How are things handled with Processwire if this or other bureaucratic obstacles crop up suddenly? 7) This WYSIWYG editor I'm using right now is CKEditor or am I wrong? 8) How about internationalization and translations with Processwire? Best regards from the post-Oktoberfest Bavaria (I didn't have time to go there this year, alas) WhyProcessWire
