Seminar on "Evaluation of Open Source CMS" at DRTC, Bangalore
by sanjeev sunny 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Indian Statistical Institute *Indian Statistical Institute* *Documentation Research and Training Centre* *8th Mile Mysore Road, R.V. College Post* *Bangalore-560059* Seminar on *Evaluation of Open Source Content Management System: A Comparative Study* Over the last few years, information professionals have started to have a role in the management of websites and intranets. As a result, they gained new skills from their web activities. There are many web-authoring software like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc which has been used to develop and maintain the websites. But gradually, it became difficult to maintain and update the websites because of their very dynamic nature and a variety of file formats. Content Management Systems evolved as an alternative to such web-authoring tools. A content management system (CMS) offers a way to manage large amount of web-based information that escapes the burden of coding all of the information into each page in HTML by hand. A CMS assists conformity by providing a centrally managed system for displaying the content. Although the rapid proliferation of commercially available content management systems makes it easier to find a vendor that might have right solution, the cost to purchase a commercial CMS application is very high. As an alternative to commercial CMS, open source solutions are a tantalizing option. Though, there are many open source CMS available in public domain, such as Drupal, Joomla, Plone, PHP-Nuke, etc, it is difficult to decide what solution will work best for a particular organization (or library). A comprehensive checklist is required to evaluate these systems. This seminar will focus on the key requirements of the CMS and a checklist for evaluating CMS will be discussed. Two of the popular Open source CMSs namely Joomla! and Drupal will be compared using this checklist. Speaker: Sanjeev K Sunny 2nd Year ADIS All are cordially invited Venue: DRTC, Classroom, Indian Statistical Institute Date: 24th October, 2007 DRTC Time: 2 p.m. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
