Re: Student Coding & CMS

CMS' are what thousands of companies and businesses use for their websites, but most make major customizations to the code, template, etc. To be honest, I think FIRST should kindly back off of this section of the competition in regards to the whole "student-built" mentality. I learned so much about Joomla and Wordpress because I used the systems for our website 2 years in a row while I was a high school student on the team, and now I'm getting to the point of editing everything to make it suit my needs. I've even started working with vBulletin and MyBB.

I'm guessing that we'll be missing out on the award this year, then, since I plan on setting up Wordpress and having the students work on the site.
