Paolo Tramontani	Wednesday 03 September 2003 3:09:26 am Hi folks, can someone spend some words to help me in choosing the right version? I have to develop the site of my company, I am 1y php developer, I'm developing in win2k environment but I should install the site in a linux server. We would like a site of medium complexity. I downloaded the 3.2 beta 1 but it appear very huge. Is this the right solution? Is it true that the version 3 misses some functionalities or modules that the version 2 have? Which ones? And what I'm loosing if I choose the version 2 instead? It is a crucial decision, since I'm starting now with this wonderful tools. Thanks in advance, Paolo
Tony Wood	Wednesday 03 September 2003 4:17:21 am Hi Paolo, IMHO if you are developing a site of medium complexity then I would choose v3. You have some php expertise so this will come in handy should you need to write extensions. v3.2 is a nice tool and your should get on well with it, all the functionality is available from the templates so, you should not have to code... unless you want to :) We have 2 sites in v2 and 8 sites in v3 and really like v3 over v2. This is a v3 forum... so maybe I am biased ;-) Ask on the v2 forum too.

Paolo Tramontani	Thursday 04 September 2003 3:21:01 am Thanks for your replies. I read the article of Sebastiaan van de Vliet. It is very clear and it explain with great accuracy differences among version 2 and 3. Unfortunately it is still very hard to decide: we should like start with the last version and with all its benefits. In other hand we fear that our resources can be overwhelmed by the lot of work that the version 3 requires. Our resources consist in a senior programmer with 1yr php experience (that's me). Thanks again and good work. Paolo
