Smart Web Developers Create Free Open-Source Software
Web Content Management Systems (CMS)
Ease of Use:
Requires Advanced Skill for Administrators
But is Easy to Moderate for Users
For the web-developers among us who know how to "put it all together" in order to make it easy for people to use a webpage or website, a Content Management System (CMS) just might come in handy.
A CMS makes it easy for users of a website to contribute, modify, and edit content and components of a website. A CMS works especially well for large, multi-tiered and complex websites, such as this one. At the core of a CMS is a highly-advanced API framework. Upon this, the CMS enables people (who may or may not be technically inclined) to interact with a site via various simplified "push-button" methods. Many popular blogs, social media websites, and community portals utilize a CMS.
There are many different types of CMSes available, but this website focuses on those that are offered to open-source developers; these CMSes do NOT lock-in people, organizations or companies to a specific brand or operating system:
Drupal -- Drupal -- Works with the zentu.net and PHP framework
Joomla -- Joomla -- PHP with MySQL framework
Midgard -- Midgard -- PHP and MySQL framework
Plone -- Plone -- Python code base for a development framework
As with anything complex, these highly advanced systems almost always require the paid expertise of a competent web-developer/administrator.
Finally. If there's any particular component of this free open-source software resource you'd like to see added, join the network, share your contribution, and it shall be done.
