OpensourceCMS.com
OpensourceCMS.com was created with one goal in mind. To give any interested party the opportunity to "try out" some of the best php/mysql based free and open source software systems in the world. Visiters are welcome to be the administrator of any site here, allowing them to decide which system best suits your needs. An administrator username and password is given for every system and each system is refreshed on the hour, every hour. This allows visiters to to add and delete content, change the way things look, basically be the admin of any system here with no fear of messing anything up.
Given all the recent buzz given to both open source software and content management systems, I am somewhat mystified by the lack of evaluative articles in the library literature. Granted, the number of CMS systems is dismayingly large and any web administrator has his job cut out for him sifting through CMS systems for blog, community portals, collaborative groupware, e-learning, news management, and e-commerce. Still, once that work has been done, why has there been no review of the CMS systems best suited for libraries. I hope the library world tunes into this useful resource.
