I need to come up with a couple of suggestions for a solution to the problem previously presented. The answer to the challenges of web content management is of course a web content management system. Some would prefer a portal, and there are many different opinions on whether a portal and a WCMS are two sides of the same coin. Personally I prefer to think of a portal as a web content management dialect, or maybe the portal is merely the content-delivery part of the WCMS. Will have to include a chapter on portals in the thesis, I think.
My plan in presenting different solutions is so that they can be compared next week. So let's jump into it and grab a couple of WCMS-es I can compare:
In the first round, these two will have to be sufficient. My timeline is simply too short to do a larger comparison. Anyway, both of these contain enough functionality to consider most aspects of content management, and I have lots of experiences with both.
I have already written a good piece on how Primetime is used. I am currently expanding the Magnolia chapter in the thesis. Next week I will have to read up on the AHP, and put the two CMS-es to the test.

- Magnolia (open source, uses JSR-170 standard)
- Primetime Portal (proprietary, uses no standards beneath the web-front-end)

Hi Thomas, i needed to follow your trail since you've read som posts in our blog :) I think it's a good idea to include portals in your thesis. Portals are the "hottest" in most educational institutions for the moment, and my personal experience is that they offer some challenges when integrated with other systems. The problem is not always the portal, bur the other underlying systems.
ReplyDeleteGood luck :)
