Build it or buy it: Negotiating software development in the world of CMS
As with any computing application, the choice an organisation faces when selecting a content management system (CMS) is to build it or to buy it. Compared with many other areas of business, IT holds out the promise that anyone, anywhere can come up with an idea and realise it in the form of a computer application. All you have to know how to do is make the computer understand what you're after. Or else employ someone who speaks computer-speak. Of course, it's never that simple. Speaking computer is not only harder than any foreign language speaker could imagine, but people produce frustratingly unreliable results and often cost a king's ransom. Enter the shrink-wrapped, boxed software product. All the work has been done, just plug it in, twist a few knobs, and it's working.
Anyone who works in IT or has encountered an IT system knows that "twist a few knobs" is in line for understatement of the century. More commonly known as "implementation" or "configuration", this has become its own gigantic industry, with massive consulting firms rolling out products like SAP, Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes for their own heaps of gold.
Hillington based web design and consultancy firm NSDesign have announced the launch of their innovative new NSBuilder product – an online Site Builder and Content Management system aimed at start up companies and existing small to medium enterprises.
Priced at £99 per year, NSBuilder allows organisations to produce and manage a professional, accessible website within minutes, and includes integrated e-commerce, image gallery, and online news modules.
Gary Ennis, Director of NSDesign says “From experience, we know that most small businesses do not have a large budget for their website development, let alone the expertise to keep it up to date with relevant content. NSBuilder is an affordable solution which puts the control of the site back into the hands of the business, allowing them to make the changes and updates without having to rely on or pay further fees to a web designer”.
Joomla!, the world's most popular Open Source CMS, will be participating at its first San Francisco LinuxWorld (http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/) next week. For those of you who can remember, we were there last year and won a couple of awards, but did so under a different name.Together with the award-winning 1.0 series, we will be previewing the upcoming Joomla! 1.5 Beta, which is evidence of the maturity the project has attained in a short time. Lead developer Johan Janssens, who will be attending, said the forthcoming release marks a significant milestone. Our baby Joomla! was born nearly 12-months ago, cut his teeth with our first release and now the toddler is gaining confidence, he quipped. You may laugh at the metaphor but the amount of work put into Joomla! by our teams has seen us endure great difficulties and reap the rewards of a paradigm shift in thinking, he said.

One of the fundamental ideals that Packt subscribes to is the belief that Open Source should be promoted, supported, and sustained whenever and however possible. With the Open Source Project Royalty Scheme successfully providing sustainable revenues for projects since 2004, Packt is now excited to announce a further open source initiative; the Open Source CMS Award.
The Packt Open Source Content Management System Award is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward an Open Source Content Management System (CMS) that has been selected by a panel of judges and visitors to www.PacktPub.com.
If you're a fan of a particular CMS or if you're part of a CMS project team, then we're looking for your nominations. We want to compile a list of open source Content Management Systems that will be put forward to win $5,000 and the title of Packt Open Source CMS, 2006. The five CMS's that receive the most nominations will go forward to the final round. First runner-up and second runner-up will not go away empty handed, taking away $3,000 and $2,000 respectively.
Most commercial portal vendors behind new portlet standard

The new Portlet Specification 2.0, aka JSR 286 was just released as first public draft. The standard is currently supported by major portal vendors BEA, IBM, Oracle, SAP, Sun and Vignette. The main goal of this new version is to align the Java Portlet Specification with J2EE 1.4 and other JSRs relevant for portlet programming, and enhance caching support. The current specification, JSR 168, has been very important for portal developers. Unlike the CMS marketplace, the portal marketplace has benefited from some important standards, even if some vendors have developed proprietary "extensions." For buyers this one means that portlets developed to the spec work in all the portal products that support the standard, potentially reducing implementation time and making it easier to migrate between products. Portlet specs also enable you to potentially use re-use code across multiple different portal product installations -- a common scenario in large enterprises.
This post outlines the steps required to update your IPB 2.1.x for this security update. If you've downloaded IPB 2.1.7 since the time of this post, there is no need to update your installation as the main download has been updated.
It has come to our attention that Invision Power Board 2.1.x contains an issue in the threaded view mode allowing malicious users to access posts outside the topic.
According to Jason Stamper, editor of Computer Business Review, Oracle will release a new portal product at the end of the year called Oracle Workplace Portal. Mr. Stamper confirmed this news with a European Oracle representative. Supposedly the new portal differ from the existing Oracle Portal, as it'll be less focused on intranet scenarios. This may sound a bit like competing vendor BEA, which already has two products: AquaLogic User Interaction (former Plumtree) and WebLogic Portal. In another interesting commentary Mr. Stamper quotes BEA CEO Alfred Chuang as saying: "We could integrate them but some companies are buying both...I'm trying to sell everyone who has one the other, and it's going well." It would seem like the original integration plans between the 2 BEA portal products may be revised and BEA may keep the two very different product lines. Will IBM and SAP also launch another portal product soon? Challenging times for buyers indeed...but would seem to confirm our contention in the Enterprise Portals Report that different use cases often require substantially different technical approaches.
