[drupal-docs] Drupal vs Mambo

[Charlie Lowe]

Well, in answer to your objections, community management system is about 
managing community interaction. But community plumbing has similar flaws 
  and would fit right in with your critique below.

If it was me, I might even consider calling Drupal the "Social Software 
CMS."  But then we'd get into people doing what you did, inaccurately 
equating social software with social networking applications.
