RE: UKNM: Content Management Systems

[salinka]

so funny...i was chatting with someone about this today at the office! in

my experience, it's better to build your own & customize. the off-the-shelf

stuff is often a) extrememly expensive and b) inflexible. there are some

great tools you can build using XML, sybase & good ol' linux. once you have

the backend, it's just a matter of putting a nice user interface on it. 


check out http://www.webtechniques.com and read up on zope a product

recommended to me by a collegue. here's the link --

devshed (http://www.devshed.com) has some great links on developer tools if

you are really interested.


just my 2-cents from this side of the pond.
