[CMS-Forum] Whitepapers: Open-source CMS / Definitions / Leadership & coaching

[James Robertson]

Hi all,

As usual, I've tried to ensure that we cover a wide
range of issues in this month's articles. Please keep
those suggestions for future topics rolling in...

[Apologies in advance for the cross-posting to
multiple lists.]

The new whitepapers:

* Open-source content management systems
   http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/kmc_opensource/index.html
   Open-source CMS has now matured to the point where it should be
   considered alongside commercial products, but is not without its
   weaknesses and issues.

* Intranet teams: a leadership and coaching role
   http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/cmb_coaching/index.html
   Intranet teams should play a leadership and coaching role in the
   organisation, in order to ensure that the intranet is effective,
   up-to-date and usable.

* Definition of information management terms
   http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/cmb_definition/index.html
   This briefing provides an at-a-glance definition of terms for
   a range of information systems, including CMS, DMS and RMS.

Related articles:

* Is it DM or CM?
   http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/cmb_dmorcm/index.html
   This briefing helps to dispel the widespread confusion
   in the marketplace between document management systems (DMS)
   and content management systems (CMS).

* Choosing an intranet project sponsor
   http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/cmb_sponsor/index.html
   Lack of project sponsorship is one of the greatest causes
   of IT project failure. For an organisation-wide platform
   such as an intranet, the need is even greater.

We also provide an announcements list,
