Subject: [Open Source CMS] Report: Selecting a Content Management System


Hello, friends and colleagues -- Jeff and his crew at Common Knowledge
just released a report on "Selecting a Content Management System."  It's
attached and also uploaded in the library.  While not focused
specifically on OS CMS, it give a good overview of the issues from a
nonprofit user perspective.  

It contains the following:



*	What is a Content Management System? 
*	How are CMS and CRM solutions related? 
*	Why have Content Management Systems emerged now as important
tools for non-profits? 
*	How do we know that our organization needs a Content Management
System? 
*	How does a Content Management System help my organization? 
*	What are the issues to consider when selecting a Content
Management System? 
*	How can I best communicate our site needs to vendors? 
*	How much should we budget for a CMS? 
*	Which vendors offer CMS solutions for nonprofits? 
*	What can we expect from CMS vendors in the future? 

This is hot off the press -- and you are getting a sneak preview :-)  

We'll review it later this week as well, so your comments welcome in the
meantime!

Best,

Katrin
