 <title>Hiveminds Magazine - Content management</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/taxonomy/term/159/Content-management</link>
 <description>A content management system (CMS) is a computer software system for organizing and facilitating collaborative creation of documents and other content. A content management system is frequently a web application used for managing websites and web content, though in many cases, content management systems require special client software for editing and constructing articles. The market for content management systems remains fragmented, with many open-source and proprietary solutions available. In todays web the type of content is in a wide range of formats. Things have changed since the early days of the internet text was considered to be only content type of note. Now content is in the form of documents, images, music, video as well as text. This change can be seen in the rise of the usage of content management system like Gallery2 and sites like flickr.com.</description>

 <description><![CDATA[Gartner did not disappoint me. But they do much to disappoint those that are putting a lot of energy and effort in to the OSS Web content management market. The only good thing  about this report is the fact that they mention Drupal.

 <title>N2 an open source ASP.NET CMS</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/n2-an-open-source-asp-net-cms.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[N2 is a lightweight CMS framework that helps you build great web sites that anyone can update. Web content editors can enjoy a simple and empowering web interface. Developers will benefit from a programmer friendly API that makes building web sites quick and fun.
Right out of the box N2 brings a balanced set of CMS functionality such as News, Event Calendars, Photo Galleries, FAQs, RSS, Data Entry, Polls and more. All of this and the editing interface are included with the Templates. demo.
The editing interface works equally well with the Templates or a custom solution you build yourself. Its very easy for anyone to manage the content of their web site. Features include full control of content and nodes, drag&amp;amp;drop, versioning, wizards, export/import, security, globalization and more.
Templates and Edit Interface alike relies on a standalone CMS Library with powerful data definition and database support, data binding and templating on ASP.NET and very much more.
A Programmatic CMS
N2 is an opinionated piece of software. The core principles are "code speaks" and separation between templates, content model and database.
One assumption is that you expect total control over the presentation layer, prefer to develop your content model using .NET classes and can survive without developing in the database or doing every input form.
N2 CMS speeds up development by analyzing your code at runtime and generating input interfaces based on attributes on your content classes. Having this in code rather than a database gives you the benefits of intellisense, source control, ftp deployment and greater maintainablility.
The CMS library itself is extendable through API events, the content classes themselves, custom editable attributes and other enabling hooks.
Behaves on ASP.NET
Like any well behaved CMS N2 doesn't mess with your user interface. It just provides a useful set of APIs and ASP.NET controls to insert content data in the right spots. A front controller maps url's to the appropriate ASPX template.
The framework plays well in shared hosting environments and with most databases including SQL Server and MySQL (through NHibernate ORM).
One benefit of it's modular and lightweight approach is that the CMS can be integrated into existing ASP.NET solutions and ASP.NET MVC.

 <title>5 reasons why the Drupal  CMS is not ready for the enterprise</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/5-reasons-why-the-drupal-cms-is-not-ready-for-the-enterprise.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[Many Open Source content management systems written in PHP want to be recognized by the business industry as being "enterprise" ready. This is not only a mark of prestige and status but places them in a position where large companies are ready to invest in the software as a platform for their projects. Drupal is now trying making its move to be enterprise ready but has a long way to go.

 <title>More Mambo core developers go missing in action</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/more-mambo-core-developers-go-missing-in-action.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[Someone posted a comment about this and it's true. Four more of Mambo's core developers have jumped ship and started a new fork of the content management system. Below you will find their reasons for doing so as posted on the website. I am curious though as to why they did not join the Joomla! group.
The MiaCMS Story
MiaCMS is a fork of the Mambo CMS. Why a fork? We felt that the policies, processes, and priorities of the official Mambo Foundation were having a negative impact on the code and the community. Innovation, creativity, and team spirit have all but been eliminated. Thus the fork. Much of the same crew that built you Mambo 4.5.3+ through 4.6.3 are here now continuing development on the same award winning software base that everyone has come to know and love. Let us make clear we never gave up on the product or the community, but rather just the Foundation which controlled it.
The MiaCMS project was initiated by four individuals with profound knowledge of the Mambo CMS system. The founding team includes Al Warren (alwarren), Chad Auld (cauld), Ozgur Cem Sen (ocs), and Richard Ong (arpee). Together we have held the following roles within Mambo over the years; project leader, board member, steering committee member, core team leader, quality team leader, documentation team leader, and server administration. Those who know the project well will recognize those listed as what was the majority of the current core Mambo development team. Who is left to carry on Mambo development? The answer is not many. We plan to continue down the revolutionary path we laid out for Mambo before ultimately cut our ties to the Mambo Foundation. Just that we will be doing it as MiaCMS from this point forward. So again... this is a fork, we do give credit to Mambo for past work done, and we do aim to make MiaCMS even better (in fact we think it already is) !

 <title>DBlog an Open Source CMS for Windows Servers</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/dblog-an-open-source-cms-for-windows-servers.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[
It was year 2003, to be more precise, end of may 2003. Daniele went surfing on the internet in search of a Content Management System that he could run on his windows web server.
The search was useless and just gave him english-speaking results,commercially sold products and platform not compatible with the technical specs he wanted to comply with. So, trusting that some crazy guy would have read his not really grammatically correct words, he laid the foundations of a new project.
As soon as everything started to take shape,a thought hit him: what if this would help others to solve all these problems? A platform for blog in italian, user friendly to be used, fast to be install, open source and for free. Cool! So he re-started with version 1.0, publishing his first post on piattaforma dBlog 1.0 on june 16th, 2003.
dBlog, was born, where "D" stands for Daniele, Dynamic, Database, and for whatever words come to mind for this initial :-), starting from a personal need to continue thanks to a simple passion, and share with many others. He would have liked to tell you that he started the develpment in a garage, as many of the "big shots" projects, unfortunately that day there was the family SUV in it. That's the shit.

 <title>Aroundme Version 1.0 is Released!</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/aroundme-version-1-0-is-released.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[Barnraiser is very happy to announce the release of AROUNDMe version 1.0, the perfect solution for anyone wishing to create a collaborative social space on the Web. You can think of AROUNDMe as a MySpace / Ning clone, but using OpenID. This announcement is almost a week old. I missed because on previous visits to the barnraiser website it looked like the project was dead. I was looking into alternatives to Drupal again this evening and surfed to the site only to find it freshened and a new stable release of Aroundme.

 <title>What is a Content Management System?</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/what-is-a-content-management-system.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[A content management system is computer software for organizing and facilitating collaborative creation of documents and other content. A content management system is often a web application used for creating and managing websites and web content. Alternatively, content management systems (CMS) can also be used for storing and publishing documentation such as operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, etc. There are many open-source and proprietary CMS solutions available, which is in fact true for most systems of any kind.

 <description><![CDATA[Adaptive Website Framework 2.1.4 is a nice clean application for building pre-configured websites. AWFhas one of he best access control schemes that I have ever seen. The adminstration back-end on the whole is much better than that of more popular web pupublishing systems like Mambo, Drupal, Joomla or even Wordpress. It just has great usabilty.

 <title>Content staging</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/content-staging.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[Poll
Many web publishing systems provide a content staging system. When a websites content is created or updated you can choose to publish the content immediately or to wait. If you are updating already published content and choose not to publish, the old published content will still be displayed on your live website.
Any type of content including pages, templates, style sheets and media can be updated with or without publication.  

 Content staging:
  A very important feature and requirement my choice of CMS. A nice feature to have but not requirement for my choice of CMS. I use this  feature now and can't do without it I have no need for this feature

 <title>Try your CMS before you invest time</title>
 <link>http://www.hiveminds.co.uk/content/try-your-cms-before-you-invest-time.html</link>
 <description><![CDATA[For the next few weeks I will be working on a try before you invest extension of this website. Yes, your time is a valuable investment and it should not be wasted. While I think that opensourcecms.com is okay they still only allow you to kick the tires of a web publishing system. I think that I can create a system where the visitors will get a more real experience. Users should be able to actually make a valid decision based on what they do in the tryouts. I will also be carefully evaluating things and writing short reviews on my findings. 
Later, I will also be doing a comparison matrix just for opensource webpublishing systems. Here I will concentrate on the things that users want to know about and place the developers view point in the back. I feel that too many are being confused by bell and whistles and then being forced to change their web publishing tool in mid stream.
So keep an eye turned to this site as things will happen very rapidly.]]></description>
