As it does every month, CMSWire.com has released a report of what to expect in the open source CMS world in the coming month as well as a look back at a very busy month of March.

Highlights from the report include a record number of registrants for DrupalCon and a new collection of plugins for the Hippo CMS in April (check out the video at the bottom of this post to see a demo version of some of the plugins from the article). In March meanwhile, DotNetNuke, GateIn, and others released new versions of their CMSs, while Plone and Joomla! continued work on their respective CMSs’ forthcoming versions.

While Drupal keeps releasing updates to its 6.0 version (originally released in February 2008, last updated, Drupal 6.16, March 10, 2010), it has also just announced that it plans on releasing its newest version, Drupal 7.0, in the next three months, according to an article by PCWorld.

WordPress released its latest version (2.9, Carmen) December of 2009, and Joomla! has not set a date for the release of its newest version, Joomla! 1.6, although that too could happen soon.

Drupal 7.0 is supposed to improve on some of the criticisms earlier versions have faced, such as ease-of-use issues, which have allowed Joomla! and WordPress to grab large chunks of the low to mid-end CMS market.
