I just went through the feature list at CMSMatrix.org and found some inaccuracies:
- "SSL Logins" and "SSL Pages" are possible with the securepages module http://drupal.org/project/securepages
- Test Framework is part of Drupal 7 core which is due out in early 2010.
- WebDav is a Free Add-On http://drupal.org/project/webdav
- Database Reports is a Free Add-On with Views, Table Wizard, and Charts http://drupal.org/project/views http://drupal.org/project/tw and http://drupal.org/project/charts
- Expense reports is a Free Add-On with CCK and Views (http://drupal.org/project/cck)
- Graphs and Charts is a Free Add-On with Views and Charts modules.
- Point of Sale is a Free Add-On with http://drupal.org/project/uberpos
Given that this site is used by many decision makers it's valuable for us to keep this updated and potentially work on filling in the holes where possible. For example, cmsmatrix lists "Kerberos Authentication" as an area where Drupal has no solution, but there are recipes in the forums for getting Kerberos by combining Drupal, Secure Authentication module, and Apache's basic authentication configured to use a Kerberos database. If we can solidify that into a good handbook page we've got one more item finished.
Similarly, the Wikipedia entry is frequently used and frequently inaccurate. I just subscribed to the RSS feed of Wikipedia edits and suggest others do the same so we can make sure it stays accurate.
Comments
CMSMatrix.org very out of date
The comparison data for Drupal at CMSMatrix.org is based on version 6.10 provided in Feb-2009. I would say those who have the skill need to update this both for the latest 6.x version and for v7 too. I would be happy to do it but frankly there is alot about Drupal I am still learning.
According to the website here is the current comparison between Drupal/Joomla!/Wordpress:

Add Typo3
Add Typo3 v4.5 or soon v5 (typo3.org) cause here in germany it´s the biggest successor of a cms.
Keeping information current
Thanks mori, I appreciate knowing about TYPO3. Very interesting because it looks like it has been a core product in Germany and Austria (but ONLY in those countries) long before Drupal got started. Yet even in those countries WordPress & Joomla seem to have more activity than TYPO3 and Drupal now. See the graph link at the bottom of this post.
However, respectfully, none of this is the point...
The cmsmatrix.org website is used by people to help them decide what CMS's exist and what capabilities they have. It lists literally hundreds of different CMS and quasi-CMS type packages (including TYPO3 and TYPOlite). The point of my comment (and greggle's original post above) is not for D.O to start making bigger and bigger lists comparing Drupal to the other packages, but rather to highlight that we (as a community) need to be keeping our own information up to date on this website and websites like this where people go to when looking to decide what CMS to use.
We are very far behind when it comes to how much web "chatter" is about Drupal .vs. the other leading CMS tools. For some perspective see the following charts:

Success is mine! It took me
Success is mine!
It took me from December of 2009 to gain control of the CMSMatrix page, but I now have it. If you notice anything wrong on the page please let me know and I'll do my best to update it!
