HCMS Open Source Project

What is HCMS?

HCMS is short name of a Open Source Project for a HTML DB Content Management System Framework (hereafter referred to as 'HCMS').

Background

Over the past few months, there had been a desire on our part at Collaboration Nexus to have a Content Management System for HTML DB with a strong influence from the Wiki Encyclopaedia format.

Some web postings (forums, Blogs) are:

On the HTML DB forums, it has been previously made a suggestion many months ago:

Problem Description

The problem is that not standard framework exists for Content Management in HTML DB. Some specifics are that:

• No 'Portal' style Framework exists for the Content Management.
• No standard data structure exists where it could be possible to standardize things like:
• Contact Profile Details
• Address Format
• Organizational details.
• No 'Wiki' style application for the collaborative management of applications.
