[Web4lib] CMS (Content Management System)

[Lynne Jones]

Hi - I would recommend Cmsmadesimple - one of the five finalists in the 2007
Open CMS Awards

http://www.packtpub.com/article/2007-open-source-cms-award-finalists 

More info here: www.cmsmadesimple.org

Have tried a few but this beats them all in my view - simple (as it says!),
compliant and its extensibility and ease of use impresses me every time I
use it

Good support forum as well - very helpful

Regards
Lynne

Subject: [Web4lib] CMS (Content Management System)

Colleagues,

   This is a cross posting.

   Our library is considering implementing a CMS (Content Management System)
for managing our website.  We may end up using it for more things -
intranet, calendars, email (??)  We are a small to medium size public
library serving a community of about 20-24,000 people.  One CMS we are
considering is Drupal.

  I would appreciate any input regarding experiences, advantages,
disadvantages, opinions, etc. regarding CMS, which is best, etc.

  I would also appreciate any recommendations for books, websites, etc. on
the topic.

Thanks very much.

Sincerely,
Raumin "Ray" Dehghan
