Everyone has already told you about opensourcecms.org, which is a
really good site to test things out. However, about 6 months ago I had
to do research for the same kind of thing. As of now with the split of
the Mambo dev team from the parent company Miro I think I would go with
Dupral because who knows when Mambo or whatever the fork of Mambo by
the dev team is going to back on it's feet again. Even with that said
I've been working with Mambo for about 6 months as well and I must say
it's the easiest CMS that I have ever worked with. The
component/module coding is a no brainer and the documentation is pretty
good (it was getting better but with the dev team gone who knows). At
any rate I would say check out Dupral, Mambo, and XOOPS. Then decide
what you need and which one has the most features that you need. I
choose Mambo for the fast development of customization of features, the
huge community (that now seems split), and the vast number of 3rd party
modules that have already been written. :)
