CMS: Siteframe

not scheduled

Description:

Siteframe is an open-source community content-management system that has allowed groups of thousands of users to maintain their own web communities. Several technical features, such as instantaneous feedback and integration with email, help drive repeated use of the sites and make users feel continuously involved. Some of the techniques used here may be applicable to other online communities as well.

CMS: Joomla!

Description:

Joomla! is such a young community.
Many people think:
"It will take another year or two before the Joomla! community is as organized and enthusiastic and involved like other communities, f.e. Drupal".
So, until this will happen, I offer an overview of the powerful Joomla! CMS in the meantime.
The more we learn about one another's projects, the stronger our projects will become. Each community has so much to offer.
I have written books in German language about OS projects (Drupal, Joomla!, Apache) and I am sure the Joomla! overview will be interesting for you :-).

Community building is more than just software, and more than just people. The nature of online communities is changing, no longer defined exclusively by bulletin boards or superblogs.
