Hi,
i am thinking of deploying a CMS system for our corporate web server.
I have seen/installed/tested :
Jboss Portal : Seeems good and standards complying but too unstable
Apache Lenya : Very unstable - could not get it to any useful work
Php-nuke : (despite our favor towards java, this seems stable
but not what
we want)
OpenCMS : Very stable but not so open source - some one has to
pay to get
anything more than the basic
Practically from just browsing and using google one could conclude
that there
are 10ths of
open source tools that do content management.
Also it is impractical to install even 10% of them.
Moreover web articles/reviews/comparisons rarely give anything but
biased
views.
So since i think that our type of need falls in the same big family
as the
ones
working in the unix/PostgreSQL/java world i would like to ask you
about your
experience
in this field.
Since we dont consider interfering with the DB backend in our
immediate future
intentions, MySQL will be just as good for us.
Ofcourse i prefer postgresql for our applications, but if lets say
opencms
started supporting postgresql just a month ago, then postgresql
will not be
as strong a candidate in that case.
In the same sense java is prefered over PHP, since we dont intent
to interfere
with CMS code, but if some killer PHP app does the job, then it
will be the
one selected.
Thanx
Achilleas Mantzios.
Try plone.
http://plone.org/ Fantastic CRM system.
I realise you have a preference for Java/PHP but this is well worth a
look. Python is a great language to work with - very powerful.
"By default, Plone stores its contents in Zope's built in
transactional object database, the ZODB. There are products and
techniques, however, to share information with other sources, such as
relational databases, LDAP, filesystem files, etc." from http://
plone.org/about/plone
Good luck
