Dear all, I'm new to this list (but I have practiced some delayed lurking), in fact, I'm new to Java, Jakarta, Tomcat, and most of this technology. I'm pretty experienced with the web though (been writing HTML since 1994).
For the next two months, I'll be working full-time on a semi-voluntary basis with new web solutions for the Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted. Other volunteers have in their spare time wanted to go for a PostNuke-based solution. I'm the one who will implement this stuff, and they have given me the go-ahead for researching other solutions. I've never liked PHP, and in my experience, with PostNuke-like solutions, you may get nice stuff around the articles, but the code in the article itself is neglected. Also, it is often hard to include images. Obviously, accessibility is extremely important for this application, both for those who read content and those who produce it. I feel that a different approach to CMS must be taken, and looking around, Jakarta Slide has many of the concepts I feel are needed. However, I've read some of the Jakarta Slide docs, and I feel it is a rather imposing and abstract read. Not being easily scared and eager to learn, I'm still looking to Slide. I hope someone on the list can assist me in choosing the right technology for our needs. Are there any good examples of Slide in use in real-world-applications? It would help a lot to have a working example where code is available, so that it doesn't get that abstract. It is not quite clear to me what Jakarta Slide actually does. Indeed, PostNuke does provide most of the functionality we need. It needs to be easy to add users, group users and assign permissions to those.�I understand that ACP is intended for this purpose and that Slide has support for the draft, but how easy is it to get this into a simple, accessible web-application? Stories posted on the front page should be transfered to an archive automatically, it should be possible to postpone posting an article to a specific time. Links between articles should be maintained automatically. It should be possible that articles include images, and preferably markup with good structure. How difficult is builing stuff like that (basically, building a system like PostNuke) from the low-level framework?
