I haven't taken a deep dive in to CMS in a while, but last I left it Joomla was my favorite. It looks like WordPress has continued rocketing upward and Drupal has some fight left.

I am curious what others are favoring right now as I am trying to start a personal site and don't want to sink a lot of time into the setup. Bonus points if you have a lesser known project that piques your interest.

I'm starting a group for learning to code at my workplace, and an early hurdle we're reaching is being able to communicate outside of work. We use Slack at my workplace, but I don't think that'll be the best form of communication for this.

I was thinking either Google Groups or a phpBB forum, but neither of these are a perfect fit either. These may be the best option, but I was hoping others here have run into this before.

If you have any tips in general about starting a group like this, I'm completely open to those as well! Cheers!

Edit for a little more clarity: I thought about using a VPN just to have a little less of a footprint online, but it was just annoying to setup due to the provider I used being marked as spam. I also read later there was little to no point in doing this.

It probably had little effect in light of recent NSA news, but I also switched to Linux to have a little less minimal spying done on compared to Windows 10.

In short, I understand some trail is a necessary evil and this may end up being "if they want you, they'll find you", but I wanted to see what steps are generally taken to avoid leaving gaping holes of myself on the internet's virtual floor.
