[WEB4LIB] Content Management - specifically Manila and Frontier

[Lee Jaffe]

We use Zope at UCSC as a development platform for specialized
Web services.  The majority of our Web pages are plain-vanilla
HTML but there are quite a few that have dynamic content or
services and for these we use Zope.

Some examples can be found at:

I'm no programmer and I haven't found the learning curve too steep.

>So here goes: Are any libraries using

>the Manila content management system that comes with it?

>If so, I'd love to see your site :-) Any thoughts on the pros
>and cons of CMS would also be welcome.

>We are beginning to look at redesign and with it a move to

>the list - but Zope looks a little complicated
>for one of my (admittedly limited) technical skills... :-)

>I would like to see some Zope sites too, or any library web sites
>which are built using a content management system. (Preferably
>those coming from packaged, not homegrown systems.)
>Thanks.
