Open Source content management systems
CONTENT MANAGEMENT systems facilitate the building/maintenance of dynamic web sites/portals/blogs. This week NetSpeak takes a look at the various open-source content management systems.
Thanks to the availability of content management systems, creating a feature-rich web site by a person/organisation is no more a skill-intensive job done by trained professionals. A content management system enables an author to create/alter/edit/delete content on a web page without any HTML or other web skills. Generally CMS tools come packed with many ready-made applications that include discussion board, user management, poll facility, search engine and chat module. Another highlight of these tools is the availability of the web-based data entry interface that allows the content author to directly feed the relevant content.
