Seth asked for some use cases that show what a content management system
(CMS) can do. I wanted to run them by this group, see what your ideas
are.
What would the CMS do? Manage content for Fedora sites.
fedoraproject.org, primarily.
There are multiple roles:
* Editor - logs into a workbench with entire work queue visible:
- Can approve content or push it back for further writing/edits
- If configured, cannot edit the document, can only push forward or
backward
- Push to publish
- Directly to Web, or enables an autobuild of some kind, or pushes
to a higher level publisher
* Writer
- Write content from scratch or amalgamate
- Can use built-in CMS editing functionality, attach a document of
some kind, or check into CVS and point at that as content submission.
- May modify a work when it is pushed back from an editor.
- Modification of published work generates a new workflow, requiring
the same level of approval as previously
- If configured, may retire or set expiration date for own content.
- When ready, can push own content to editor
* Lead Writer
- As above for Writer, can also be injected into the workflow for a
pre-approval/denial step prior to pushing to Editor.
- Can act upon any content from project they lead as if the sole
writer, that is, can modify into the workflow, set expiration, etc.
* Publisher/Editor-in-chief
- Final approver for sensitive content (legal, special marketing)
- May have ability to directly edit content, depending on usage model.
* Content Manager
- Looks for content to retire or revitalize
- Can immediately retire or set expiration date
- Can dig up old content and push it for a rewrite
- Lands in appropriate writer queue
That's what I've got off the top of my head.
Thanks - Karsten
