<management and go to dynamic content management.
UpdateEngine from Fatwire Software is a 100% java
based database driven dynamic content management
solution that is completely customizable and based on
open standards (JAVA, XML ,XSL).
Customers include IBM, SUN, Apple, Swisher, Ogilvy
etc...>>
Yeah - I saw this product and it sucked. It's just more closed sourced
slave-ware and Big Birds pocket will just be picked again, not to mention
Big Birds ability to move off Slave-ware to Free Software, and REAL
contnent
control.
This is a blatent advertisement on NYLUG.
The entire concept of "Content Management" was cooked up in someones
marketing
department. It's really a meaningless buzz word. We all want to manage
our content
and support access to multiple publishers to our web-sites, to keep them
updated, and
fresh. The biggest internet companies, like about.com, do this all day
without any other
'content management software' other than hat they build in C. It's nothing
new, just processing web forms, access security, and shifting files around.
Your first instict was the right one. CVS can be very helpful, with native
editors.
You can use Mason with that to help template the site, and keep it
organziaed. I personally
like embperl for this purpose. Free your resources and develope your
staff's ability to
do this sort of work for you. Don't jump from one kettle of boiling water
to the next.
Zope is also good for overall developement, if you what a site that is
zopish, with message boards etc.
