i was cleaning out the old corprew.org blog today, and i figured adding this post here would be amusing, i think a lot of it is still truish.
For the last while, I’ve been astounded that everyone who sets out to create an open source content management system either creates a blogging tool or a slashdot clone. It is really strange, and I don’t know why those are seen as replacements for general-purpose CMSs.
Anyway, I found this discussion of same over at kalsey.com interesting, as it has a more or less current analysis of the issues at hand.
At some point, I hope to go to the information school at the UDub, and I will not contribute to open source content management for obvious reasons, but it is interesting to see where these systems go. My own assumptions about what a content management system is supposed to do is shaped by several years of work and thinking, but it is definitely thinking about different things.
