CMS Hardtalk

Over time I have evaluated the major open source Portals and CMS, both as a consultant and as an analyst. I would say that I have a good overview in the product market. Opening the local newspaper gave me a flash back to the typical Open Source products that flourished then.

Actually a lot of the portals in the market still suffering from strange looks. Even if they follow usability guidelines, they look and feel unfamiliar. On the opposite open source CMS vendors have in fact tried to adapt to the new realities of Microsoft dominating the office tools of the desktop PC (and thereby defining the look and feel standards).

Nonetheless one can in fact get inspired by alternatively solutions!
