[CMS-Forum] CMS Directories - how to find/list a CMS.

[Bob Doyle]

Hi Jörg,

Benchpark appears to be a very interesting ranking system for CMS. 

We have nothing like this in the US.  I hope you will make it available 
in English soon, although only a small number of your CMS are available 
here.. 

If you want help polishing the English-language descriptions, I will be 
glad to help.

I see that voters must be a customer/user of the system assessed 
sometime during the past 18 months. The vote must be an "honor system."  
You assume voters are telling the truth.

Would you like me to add Benchpark as a CMS Directory to 
http://www.cmsreview.com/Resources/Directories.html?

This data is reused on our CMS Wiki at 
http://www.cmswiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=CmsDirectories

By the way, congratulations on your Content Magazin. 

I have listed you at http://www.cmsreview.com/Resources/magazines.html,
which also feeds http://www.cmswiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=CmsMagazines

On another topic - can we get all these CMS listings in sync?

I checked the names of your CMS listings against the Google listings in 
CMS > World-Deutsch and see very little overlap.
http://dmoz.org/World/Deutsch/Computer/Software/Internet/Webseitenverwaltung/Content_Management/

Only Axinom, Bitflux, KEY-TEC, ReadyWeb, RedDot, Sevitec, are in both 
lists.

A few are listed under different names, e.g., Day = Communique, EgoTec = 
EgoCMS?,  Gauss = VIP Interprise, NEXTware = neXT?, PSI UBIS =  PSIcms?,

I am the editor for some of the content management categories in the US, 
and I know it is very difficult to keep up with the rapid growth of the 
market.

But perhaps we should take the 470 new sites in your list and submit 
them to Google (who only lists 197)?  Maybe they have already been 
submitted and the editor is overloaded and has not approved them?

Do you have any idea?

The actually only in German available directory gives the user the chance to vote for their CMS, positive or negative, in different categories. As full user (as you are after voting for a vendor) you can have a listing by score.
