1. #25104 Ask Tony: Future of Microsoft CMS Microsoft has in no way abandoned the web content management market. Byrne, Tony. CMSwatch (2005). Articles>Content Management>Software 2. #19155 A Better Approach: Requirements-Focused CMS Selection Your organisation is unique, and as such, has a unique set of content management system (CMS) requirements. There is also no single 'perfect for everyone' content management system. Each product has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, and distinctive design principles. Unfortunately, the selection process followed by many organisations doesn't recognise this, leading to the purchase of a CMS which does not match business needs. Selecting a CMS does not have to be a lottery. By following a requirements-focused methodology, instead of a features-driven approach, the right CMS can be identified, and the business risks minimised. Robertson, James. Step Two (2003). Design>Content Management>Software 3. #27131 Blogs and One-Step CMSes are the Future of Web 2.0 Last year before I discovered Drupal and a host of other Content management systems I was building websites from scratch. I spent hours in PHP and Active Server Pages coding and designing. I was quite happy doing so. But then I came upon a flaw in the business plan of the company where I worked. It seemed we were doing the same thing over and over again only with slight differences in the end result. These differences were the reason I was busy all the time but could never catch up to the work load. What we needed was a finished product that allowed us to produce addons to satisfy the individual needs of each client. Hiveminds (2006). Articles>Content Management>Software 4. #28196 A triple-barreled question facing many enterprises today is whether to use an application-building tool or 'framework' to build a content management system (CMS); to buy one of the many out-of-the-box finished products in use by major Web sites; or to simply rent a CMS from an application service provider (ASP) and avoid the headache of running an application server in the enterprise's data center. Doyle, Bob. EContent (2004). Articles>Content Management>Software 5. #14168 Buyer's Guide to Content-Management Tools As your sites become more critical and complex, you need tools to automate management--and you need them now. Enter the new generation of Web site content-management products--a seasoned batch of tools and systems ready to help you meet the challenges of the brave new Web world. There's a wide range of products out there, and while they overlap somewhat in functionality, the phrase Web site content management means different things to different people. For some, content management is really asset management--that is, a system to keep track of media assets, such as graphic elements, text and video. More commonly, however, Web site content management refers to a set of integrated tools that helps manage some portion of the whole range of site development and deployment tasks. Although no single product can do everything, many offer deployment/publishing, versioning and rollback, site design and page authoring tools, link checking, access control, change routing and notification, and site-visualization tools among their features.

There are many comparisons of open source CMS software that are popping up that are total garbage. The reviewers are comparing CMS systems that are in 5 to 8 different categories and have 4 different sets of requirements. No wonder they are confused and can't make a choice. Hiveminds (2006). Articles>Content Management>Software 8. #30997 Comparing Open Source CMSes: Joomla, Drupal and Plone Open source content management systems can make creating and managing your website a lot easier - and there's no licensing fee involved. But which should you use? We look carefully at Joomla, Drupal, and Plone to compare their strengths and weaknesses. Bonfield, Brett and Laura Quinn. IdealWare (2007). Articles>Content Management>Software 9. #28944 Content Management Market Year in Review 2006 The Rockley Group takes a look back at the year 2006 in review. What happened in the CMS market? How is globalization changing the content management landscape? And, what about new communication vehicles like blogs, wikis, podcasts, and RSS feeds? Rockley, Ann. Rockley Bulletin (2006).

Resources>Content Management>Software 11. #14082 Content Repurposing with FrameMaker+SGML and XML We see content repurposing as taking marked-up content and automatically transforming it for presentation in multiple applications. For example, one of our clients asked us to help them convert existing Word documentation into structured FrameMaker+SGML files, and then export it to a well-formed and valid XML instance. The structured FrameMaker+SGML documents would be used to create user manuals (both print and PDF), and the XML instance would be used for online documentation on PDAs or cell phones. Portions of the content would be applicable for only the printed documents, while other potions of the content would be used only for online display. Idea Store, The (2001).

Adobe (2003). Articles>Content Management>Software>XML 13. #27156 The Drupal Database Design is a Comedy of Errors Drupal's database design is stupid! it sucks! it is crap! To things clearer I am talking about design errors. Yes, they do exist. Some say that design errors are the basic cause of bugs in a system. They are right. Rather than go through a bunch of queries or rather hundreds of queries, I will just say that the database design has no relational qualities that would optimize and speed up the system what so ever. This a glaring whole in the knowledge of the Development team so if you are a joiner and want to contribute to the project then think about helping them out with the database design first. Hiveminds (2005). Articles>Content Management>Software>Drupal 14. #27127 Drupal Has Terrible Access Control After a week of fighting with it I have come to the conclusion that Drupal access control modules are all inadequate and are based on some weak database design. Taxonomy access and node access are flawed from the start. This type of access control where the assets are assigning their own internal security is not scalable and suffers from very high database overhead. Hiveminds (2005).

Which are easiest to get up and running, or to tailor to match your site? Which has the best comment moderation features? Reporting functionality?

It’s hard, it’s messy and very few organizations do it well. Truth be told, the content migration can often be the hardest part of implementing a new CMS. Short, Kyle. CMSwire (2008). Articles>Content Management>Software 17. #27376 The Ockham's Razor Principle of Content Management Systems Unless we manage to make Drupal more accessible to new users and to get back to the basics, we'll find the ground shifting beneath our feet. Buytaert, Dries. Poynter Online (2004). Articles>Content Management>Software>Drupal 18. #22080 Open-Source Content Management Systems Open-source CMS has now matured to the point where it should be considered alongside commercial products, but is not without its weaknesses and issues. Robertson, James. Step Two (2004). Articles>Content Management>Software>Open Source 19. #31753 The Right and Wrong of Quark and Adobe Strategies What distinguishes the underlying strategies of Adobe InDesign from QuarkXPress is the absence or presence of a content management system (CMS). And each company asserts that it’s following the less-traveled road. The problem is they’re both taking roads most traveled because of their respective stances towards integrated content management systems, and I’ll show you how after looking at their respective strategies.

Although solutions such as databases, SGML, and XML are available that can enable you to reuse information to produce multiple outputs, single-sourcing doesn't have to involve such complex solutions, expenses, and learning curves. Instead, if your single-sourcing needs are relatively simple, you can effectively single-source using a tool that technical writers commonly have available: FrameMaker. Marques, Michele. TECHWR-L (2002). Design>Content Management>Software>Adobe FrameMaker 23. #31491 Using WordPress to Build Websites Instead of Blogs One of the things I like about WordPress is its versatility. WordPress isn’t just blogging software. With the right theme, you can build a website that doesn’t resemble a blog at all. Essentially, writers who become familiar with WordPress become empowered as web designers as well. Johnson, Tom H. I'd Rather Be Writing (2008).
