Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... OpenCms

"OpenCms supplies as browser-based editor in which you write code. The biggest "pain point" is that you can only open one JSP file at any given point in time. If you have to open another JSP, you have to close the one that is open, go back and open another one - obviously not a very productive development environment. "

(p. 674)

Gov't-funded open-source solutions center in the UK

09-Sep-2005

"OpenAdvantage" has been funded by the regional government in West Midlands, UK to promote open-source software in general and CMS solutions in particular. The center has an impressive list of events and seminars, all free. They have also published some decent introductory reviews of various open-source Web CMS packages. Interestingly for a publicly-supported institution, their analyst has listed which open-source tools they won't support and why. I'd quibble with some of the judgments (e.g. that OpenCms is "harder to host"), but at least they are open about it.
