Bruce Morrison	Wednesday 25 January 2006 5:26:36 pm From Slashdot: "Content management specialist Seth Gottlieb has written an easy to understand how-to on selecting an open source CMS. http://zdnet.com.au/insight/software/soa/How_to_choose_an_open_source_CMS/0,39023769,39234675,00.htm Gottlieb is also responsible for the whitepaper 'Content Management Problems and Open Source Solutions' which summarizes 15 open source projects and distinguishes between open source CMS and proprietary software selection. http://www.optaros.com/wp/wp_5_cms_report.html" Exponential is one of the CMSs reviewed in the latter report. There are a couple of incorrect statements that eZ may want to contact the author and correct (like " Exponential does not have the module development community that Mambo, TYPO3, and Drupal have and <b>most of the modules that are available are not open source.</b>") Cheers Bruce My Blog: http://www.stuffandcontent.com/ Follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/brucemorrison Consolidated eZ Publish Feed : http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ez-publish
Sandro Groganz	Thursday 26 January 2006 12:49:39 am I already did that in his blog as a comment and in the OSCOM mailinglist, stating: "Exponential goes beyond dynamic content storage as it also allows you to define new content types at run-time in the admin interface. In eZ publish, content definition is part of content management. Hence, no need to create new modules just to store a new type of content, no need to do programming there. In Exponential extensions, you define new views/designs/templates and business logic, not new content types. This significantly reduces the amount of extensions you need to program. Nevertheless, there are over 300 contributions available online, and they are Open Source: http://ez.no/community/contribs" http://contenthere.blogspot.com/ http://oscom.org/get-involved/mailing-lists/general/2006-January/000724.html Sandro Groganz Chief Knowledge Officer

kracker	Sunday 12 February 2006 12:35:24 pm (re: above) This _RADIO_EDIT_ is still registered ? Why is this not a banable offense? I mean I'm not that great but at least I'm not using these forums to increase a site's search rank ... Prime Example! http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&hs=Pti&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=G&q=%22site4re.com%22 Delete that user's messages and user account or at least delete the signature ;P //kracker mc chris - stop time Member since: 2001.07.13 \|\| http://ezpedia.se7enx.com/
Sebastian Picklum	Sunday 12 February 2006 12:49:57 pm Typo3 is another "big" OS CMS. I believe there are more Typo3-driven sites out there than eZ P based ones. But that's only my opinion. I administer a server that has one Typo3 installation. I personally hate this piece of software (I'm glad that another person has to maintain Typo3). The admin interface is not user friendly and for every piece of content you need to get plugins which are absolutely limited compared to Exponential. And don't get me started on TypoScript... ARGH! :-) :-) Sebastian PS: Currently tweaking some things in Typo3 because our Typo3-guy isn't here... [email protected]
