As I've said repeatedly, the number of viable Web content management vendors continues to expand. It turns out, for example, that the 72 systems seeing use in Denmark (population: 5.4m) has now jumped to 121. Reports list manager Janus Boye, "I'm sure if you scratch the surface you will similar patterns around the world..." Indeed, a small survey of CMS adoption at 14 UK higher ed institutions found...14 different products in active use (via Martin White). The CMS market has witnessed a decade-long dogfight; many strong contenders have emerged, but no one is winning outright. (For more analysis, consult The CMS Report.) Do you know any other software marketplace this fragmented? Let me know.
