Open source cms
I finally got around to listening to James Roberstson's excellent presentation Open Source WEB CMS Selection as usual, I am very impressed by the pragmatic approach he takes. I'd have to say the most compelling thoughts I'm left with our his observation of the deterioration of pricing for CMS software in general. I appreciate the way he immediately emphasizes that original cost is rarely the best indicator of the full project cost. I can personally attest to this reality.Also his recommendation on selecting a cms approach with a sunset date in mind. This makes great sense and could probably be expanded for other classes of software. I think the KM space is just now seeing the first generation of software live past their easily maintainable stage into the cranky, buggy inflexible stage. Roberstson is wise to point out that anticipating this atrophy should be part of the decision.
