All the different publishing tools and their

almost as well a simple CMS platform. Now if you have a publishing
project that might be done with XWiki or with Wordpress or with a CMS
and it needs to have a smart customized design and you can't spend a lot
of money or time on design - which platform would be your reommendation ?
Depends on the project, depends on the future evolution, depends on the
size and collaboration patterns in the team. I'm not an adept of the
"one tool for everything" ideology, and I know XWiki is not the right
tool for everything. If you need a simple publishing tool, then it's
best to pick a tool which does only that, since it's most likely that it
will do it way better than more generic tools.
But some projects evolve, and then you might end up with a tool that's
too limited to allow that evolution, and without knowing it, you'll be
limited by the chosen tool. "If all you have is a hammer, everything
looks like a nail".
