Monday, December 02, 2002Future of content management?
Content Management Systems will become a "commodity" over next couple of years.
Many of the current CMSs will go out of business in the process.
Many of the current projects will fail, due to the current poor standard of implementation, and lack of understanding of usability, information architecture, knowledge management and content issues.
The field of "content management" will continue to mature over the next few years, to (hopefully) achieve a higher level of consistency, repeatability and professionalism.
The move to open (or industry) standars for CMSs is obviously desirable, but there seems few immediate moves towards this. I would guess that this will take at least 5 years to occur.
Sooner or later, there will have to be a merging and rationalisation between content management, document management and records management.
D'accord avec tout ces points, sauf que le mouvement vers les solutions ouvertes ou standardisée va selon moi arriver plus vite... #
Understanding the Importance of Release Early, Release Often
This is a pretty common tenet in the Open Source world and where commercial developers often go wrong. If you are an ex-commercial developer then you want desperately to reach a "1.0" stage or a "near functional", "mostly baked" stage before going live. You wouldn't want to release something piece meal, would you? After all -- that's the way it's done. Actually no... De bonnes perspective pour ceux qui traversent de l'autre côté. #
Gallery , easy photo management
Gallery is a slick web based photo album written using PHP. With Gallery you can easily create and maintain albums of photos via an intuitive interface. Photo management includes automatic thumbnail creation, image resizing, rotation, ordering, captioning, searching and more. Albums can have read, write and caption permissions per individual authenticated user for an additional level of privacy. Give accounts to your friends and family and let them upload and manage their own photos on your website! À tester, ça pourrait être utile pour la prochaine conférence de ConstellationW3, probablement en mars 2003, plutôt qu'en décembre... #
Pinstripe is a Mozilla theme made to match the look and feel of a native Mac OS X application. De plus il utilise les éléments d'interfaces natifs à OS X, du beau travail, pas disponible pour les autres plate-formes... #
