A CMS is just that, a Content Management System. Can be the core of a Portal, the Core of your Web Site, the Core of a Library, the Core of an eLearning Site, the core of a Book making system, a system to manage documents. What they have in common? Most CM systems focus on writers and editor, syndications, integrators (the ones that provide information). They help this people whose primary focus is to provide accessible information to readers on multiple (1...*) devices. The focus is on managing human readable information. In other words, they focus on content that readers do see explicitly. A CMS achieves that by providing the suppliers of information with artifacts (templates, categories, workflows, etc etc) that help them to provide human readable information fast in a systematic fashion according to their organization policies. Teel us what do you want do to do, and what do you need to do it. A CM will not tell you that. Best regards, Nuno Lopes -- http://cms-list.org/ more signal, less noise.
