I don't know much about Magnolia. here under is just my opinion. what made us go to Alfresco is : - a good tool for content editing, that can work with jboss portal (and a good classic repository and CMS tool). - the XML Authoring : being able to compose content with several pieces and make the presentation layout at the end. That is to have a form to type the content in xml format, and then use this to build the content document, with some presentation transformation. - the WCM feature, to edit the content and the source code in the same time and use some sandbox to have several person work at it independantly. the first is a good thing we need. the second is great : we haven't seen a open source global software offering this feature (as part of the more general and usual CMS features). the third is more for the potential, for "later"... but it s a great feature. the bonus with alfresco : brand new, nice and powerfull architecture. if you are not looking for a mature software that as run for a few years yet, then alfresco looks good.
