Content management systems are something that I am very interested in. By nature (or by lack of study, I can’t figure out which) I am not a programmer, but I am however, a web developer and I have a very real need to present my clients (and myself) with an easy way to manage and store content online. Using static HTML for everything is not an option.<\/p>\n
I’ve written previously<\/a> about the CMS WebGUI<\/a>, which I currently use for several websites and I’m very impressed with so far. WebGUI is due for the new, version 6.0, release sometime this or next week which will add several features, including making it 100% template driven–by far the most important feature for me, as a designer.<\/p>\n At work (I’m a defense contractor) SCORM<\/a> compliance is a big deal. Tonight I disovered (via Seb’s Open Research<\/a>) Workforce Connections, a GPL ‘ed<\/a> CMS that is made to be SCORM compliant. I’m going to have to give this a test install. If it’s easy to use, this could make life much better at work. It’s based on Zope<\/a> and runs on Linux with Apache.<\/p>\n Recently I also discovered CMS Matrix<\/a> which is a site that, though sponsored by WebGUI, attempts to give an objective comparision of the different major content management systems avaiilable. It’s a great resource. <\/p>\n Other good sites are OpenSourceCMS<\/a> which lets you try the various content managment systems before you install them and CMS Info<\/a> which keeps you up to date on the latest and greatest in CMS’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Content management systems are something that I am very interested in.
