I was reading about Drupal on wikipedia. This is a small portion of what it
has to say:
When compared to three other well-known open source CMS platforms
covered by the
MITRE CVE database, Drupal ranked second - after
Plone<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plone_%28software%29>but before
WordPress <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress> and
Joomla<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joomla>
.[76] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drupal#cite_note-75>
So let's talk about Plone. Why was it ranked ahead of drupal? What is it
about?
