A certain Mr J Adams gave me the tip off about a useful site. Assuming you're ever in a position to choose your CMS, rather than it being handed to you, it's worth taking a look at:
http://www.cmsmatrix.org/
You can compare and contrast most available offerings, although you may need to find a grown-up web nerd to explain the more complex terminology. Then again it's cheaper than hiring in experts to tell you what you could find out for yourself
And if you're one of the two people in the entire world who might care about the future of online competitive gaming..(told you), there's a new rambling missive on http://thewayoftheweb.blogspot.com.

The rate of change is so rapid it's difficult for one person to keep up to speed. Let's pool our thoughts, share our reactions and, who knows, even reach some shared conclusions worth arriving at?
Campware (www.campware.org) produces an open source CMS aimed specifically at media organisations. It's called Campsite.
ReplyDeleteCampsite is aimed at journalists and includes lots of features specific to media publishing that other CMSs lack. It's being actively developed by the free software community and the Campware company itself. And it's free.
Rather than ploughing money into ASP.net solutions and supporting closed source solutions, I sometimes wonder why big media organisations don't use these products. They could pay their own developers to adapt them for their needs and feed the improvements back into the codebase for the benefit of everyone.
mattc, thanks very much for posting.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. Some of our brands do use LAMP builds, but as soon as there is a bag of cash available we seem intent on reinventing the wheel.
Staying alive to all the ever-improving options is part of the battle - so thanks very much for contributing.
