The best answer wouldn’t be an answer recommending the "best" CMS (because OP is never going to use it) but an answer listing as many suitable CMS as possible (whether OP explicitly asks for a list, like in the mentioned question, or not). -- Of course there are other criteria that matter in such a case, which recommendations could help with (e.g., how easy it is to develop for it, and how big the user base is), but it’s still not about finding the best tool. | |

I'm pretty sure that "I'm looking for open source ecommerce CMS that can be extended with modules" (and a few other specifications) would be perfectly on-topic - so why should we care what he wants to do with it? | |
| Apr 21, 2016 at 23:54 | comment | added | unor | "I want something for my software to use" would be like a library questions, which is of course on-topic. But unless I misunderstand OP’s question, this does not seem to be the case: OP is not using the recommended software but enhancing it (developing modules for). So an example question could be: "I’m looking for open source ecommerce CMS that can be extended with modules. I want to create modules for these CMS to offer integration with my payment service." | |
