[MCN-L] Open Source CMS for collection

2009-10-01 Thread David Alexander
Hi Nicole

In addition to all the great suggestions on the listserv, I wanted to 
let you know that we are launching a new open source collection 
management system later this year.  Madrona Community will be a 
powerful free collection management system with no limitations.  You 
can find out more information here if you are 
interested:  http://www.madronapro.com/.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
David

Hello,
I'm researching open source content management systems/databases for a
collection of objects.  Some info- it should be able to be a robust
database with the ability to be accessed from different locations/
sites, ie CA, OR, NY, etc.  It also needs to have the capability to
produce reports, include images, track locations, and eventually
turned into a website.  The database is the first priority, but it
needs to be something that will be compatible with an eventual web
database for the public to save the doubling of efforts of having to
re-input things for a public website.

Any good suggestions out there?

We are in the process of modification of the following platform

you can modify and replicate the database so as to create a tiered access for 
internal and external use.
It's a great platform to build on
