HCMS Open Source Project

The creation of 'Open Source' type project for a HTML DB Content Management System Framework (hereafter referred to as 'HCMS').

It would have some of the features of Wiki, using the FCKeditor HTML Text Editor, with optionally some degree of moderation. The framework could have modules, with a common authentication and profile, for things like:

• General
• Blogs
• Forums
• Announcements/Events
• RSS
• FAQ
• Articles
• Tutorials
• Source Code Walk through
• Contact Management
• User Profiles
• File/Document Management Upload/Downloads
• Source Code
• Photo Album
• Electronic Documents (PDF, Office)
• Project Management
• Scheduling
• Meeting Minutes
• Action Items
• Issue Tracking
• Requirements Management

The application/s could be showcased in a HTML DB Fans/enthusiasts website, for Wiki style contributions by all, like. Hopefully, this HTML DB CMS Application as being able to become a more advanced, complex, sophisticated example of what HTML DB can do, beyond the simple examples in the Studio at the moment.

A useful example of similar products are:

• Microsoft has DotNetNuke (www.dotnetnuke.com) for ASP.NET
• Open Source equivalents like:
• typo3 (www.typo3.org)
• Plone (www.plone.org)

However, these 'portal' frameworks tend to fail fundamentally, at least administratively, for this reason: lack of internal integration amongst modules.
