Dear Ganesh
I am planning to give a comple overhaul to my website. I am looking for
an easy to use and administer Content Management System.
Ok, not necessarily easy, but if you were afraid of that, then you wouldn't
be on this mailinglist, right ?!!!
Have you looked at OpenACS.
http://openacs.org
It a full-fledged Database driven modular Framework which provides for more
than what is required.
However, if you want to learn something, why not from one of the best ?
There is also an online book on the predecessor of OpenACS .. have a look
at
http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/ . This explains the design of the
database, the scaling considerations etc and is written in the inimitable
style of Phillip Greenspun, a pretty funny guy. I am sure you will enjoy
reading it.
OpenACS is based on PostgreSQL(PL/PGSQL?), TCL, AOLServer(webserver).
The development community is very alive and doing great things. The
developer community is very helpful.
http://openacs.org/forums/
BTW, the MIT SloanSpace(
http://dotlrn.mit.edu) -- A full online-course
management and student community system is built on top of OpenACS.
So, if you are planning on learning, then this is a good toolkit to try.
Hope the info is useful and await your views.
