News from the CMS world

It has been a while I have not written about CMS. Here we go, a selection of news from this fast moving sector:

• Mambo Creates a Foundation: Folllowing Zope steps, Mambo (one of the open source CMS leader) has decided to create its own foundation. the development of an independent organizational body represents an important milestone in the maturation of a open-source project - and specifically, some developers felt Mambo was too closely tied to its original founders.
• Putting a CMS Behind Your Existing Website: CMSWatch studis the trend. A way to increase market reach indeed, and grab a vast market of websites owners who don't want to start from scratch, but who still need more control over their website.
• Can your CMS manage your CMS: an other "hot" topic I think, even though a bit technical - "taxonomy", what's the hell is "taxonomy". Well, let's put it this way: it's the way your content management system is organised. The question Tony Byrne raises is: should a good content management system let you manage its own structure (not only the structure of your site). This is exactely what the JDD does! I'll have to drop an email to Tony.
