  1. A CMS for CMS Dave Barney, Lucas Taylor et al

  2. CMS = Content Management System • For web-site development and, crucially, maintenance • Ability to re-use content in multiple pages/contexts etc. • E.g. CERN press release requires editing by hand 9 separate pages! • New group initiated at CERN (led by David Foster, IT – “ENTICE”) to try to get the requirements from various users & then (hopefully) provide support • Experiments, LHC, CERN internal & public web sites

  3. Meeting with International Labour Office (ILO) • Dave B., Lucas T. & Shaun Roe (ATLAS) met with GianguglielmoCalvi (ILO web manager for “PLONE”) and Jane Barney of ILO (web manager of one ILO department) • ILO use several different systems for web-sites: • Public Internet: “Stellant” CMS (now owned by Oracle). • Private intranet: standard hand-written html • Private internet: “Plone” CMS (in fact mainly used as a content distribution system) • Plone is one of several possible CMSs (others are Drupal, Joomla, Sharepoint etc.) • Open-source • Sits on top of a very stable secure platform called “Zope”, based on Python programming language • Plone is also Python-based, so excellent compatibility with Zope • Built-in workflow for content development & release

  4. Plone implementation at ILO • Introduced 2 years ago as it is more secure than other CMSs (including Stellant) • G. Calvi works for a 3rd-party contractor, brought in for 3 weeks to set-up the hardware. He has now been there for 2 years! • Only person who maintains the core Plone installation and can install plug-ins etc. • Open-source has good points and bad points: • Good: free (no licenses), many plug-ins • Bad: variable quality of plug-ins, non-negligible on-site support required
