University of Hawai'i at Manoa Library Intranet Content Management University of Hawai‘i at Manoa Library Intranet Content Management System Requirements and Evaluation Draft Submitted by Sunyeen Pai Thanks to: Desktop Network Services Staff December 16, 2005 DRAFT CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CMS) EVALUATION In 2004 the web redesign committee investigated free open source content management systems for the redesigned library website. Budgetary constraints dictated the need for a free system, and quality software alternatives could be found in the open source community. Members of the committee worked at collecting information on reputable open source content management systems. A survey of information sources resulted in several options, WebGUI and Plone being the two major candidates. The committee learned of a local implementation of Plone at the State of Hawaii, and after a site visit the decision was made to install and test Plone. A major factor in this decision was the availability of very strong technical expertise “down the road”. One of their team members, Todd H. Ogasawara, Hawaii State eGovernment Team Leader, is a nationally recognized software expert (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/1231) interested in open source solutions in government. In the summer/fall 2005, a second scan of software options in the open source environment was made (Appendix 1). Concurrently, while working with the results of the library’s intranet user study, a content management system evaluation tool (Appendix 2) was developed to systematically consider the functional and technical criteria for choosing a system. Based on the second scan, the results of the content management tool analysis, and the time spent testing Plone, Plone again came out as a very strong contender. Recently we have learned about more adopters in Hawaii. Hawaii State offices that are changing over include DHHL, DBEDT, ATG, Ethics, and DHS. State offices that converted recently are DHRD, DLNR (Intranet), Elections, DAGS, SPO, GOV, Lieutenant GOV, and ATG (Intranet). DOH is using Zope, upon which Plone is built. It is clear that no one CMS can provide all the services we would like to have. Like anything else, different CMSs have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, a CMS that is very easy to manage may not allow you to set permissions on an individual document. Plone “out-of-the-box”, or its default installation, is extremely rich in features (http://www.openadvantage.org/articles/oadocument.2005-04-25.0390317971, http://plone.org/, http://www.sweeting.net/weblog/archive/2003/03/plone-benefits/). Plone’s strengths are scalability, dynamic page generation, web standards compliance (WAI, CSS, XHTML), an outstanding indexing and search capability, a relatively easy-to-use content editing interface, news and events features, and highly configurable workflow and security capabilities. These features are configurable through a graphical user interface system. More detailed configuration will require a knowledge of object-oriented systems and Plone’s programming tools. At this writing, automated in- migration and out-migration of content is not a default feature; we would have to investigate third party tools or write a program to handle these requirements. APPENDIX 1: CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CMS) COMPARISON CHART There are hundreds of content management systems to choose from. If you take away the commercial packages, it seems there are still hundreds left. The ones selected for comparison are free and were recommended by experts, listservs, and discussion groups. Joomla!, currently the free version of Mambo, is a popular CMS. Plone is being successfully used by many organizations, including the State of Hawaii (http://www.hawaii.gov/gov/), State University of New York’s Health Sciences Library (http://plone.hsclib.sunysb.edu/), and Pennsylvania State University. TYPO3 is being used by a commercial developer contracted by the UH School of Law. WebGUI is a recommendation out of library listservs. This comparison chart was generated from the CMSMatrix site, http://www.cmsmatrix.org/. Because of the immense amount of information involved in evaluating packages, this chart should be viewed as a quick comparison. * Critical criteria CMS-Matrix Joomla!

    UNTANGLING A TANGLED WEB: a case study in choosing and implementing a CMS T. L. Huttenlock, J. W. Beaird, R. W. Fordham Library Hi Tech 24(1): 61-68 Heather Braum, LI840, 10/07 1 Case Study Information Location: Buswell Memorial Library, Wheaton College (IL) Project: Process of choosing content management system (CMS) Study Type: Reflective case study Findings: Overview of the entire process of choosing the library’s CMS Heather Braum, LI840, 10/07 2 “Old” Days First years of web design: Dreamweaver, FrontPage or other HTML editor Had to know complicated code Software installed on each user’s computer Difficult to use, even after training Expensive commercial licensing Many website updates had to go through multiple people...complicated process in the “old” way Heather Braum, LI840, 10/07 3 What is a CMS? A content management system (CMS) is a software (typically web-based) application that manages content, such as computer files, audio, video, images, and web content, and allows a large number of users to make changes. (Wikipedia1) A web CMS is a web application used for creating and managing a large, dynamic collection of web material. It allows users with little or no training in programming/code to make changes to an existing website. It is essentially a website maintenance tool for non-technical administrators.

    Automated Testing with WWW::Mechanize Copyright 2004, Andy Lester Automated testing philosophy Why test? Humans make mistakes Bugs cost time & money Bugs are demoralizing Testing shows that your code works At least in the cases that you're testing Why automated testing? Humans hate testing. Computers don't. Instantly verify changes haven't broken code Regularly verify all code More tests don’t make the computer grumble Automated testing philosophy You are human Testing is an investment Test for now Test for the future Test constantly You are human You're good, but not that good Your coworkers are human, too Machines work, humans think Machines are good at repetitive tasks. A cron job will never blow off its tasks because they're boring. Test for the future Testing will detect breakage in the future (at least if you actually run the tests) 99.99% of the time, the test runs fine This is not a waste Proves that your code still works as you wrote it. Eliminate future stress and frustration! How Perl handles testing • Test::Harness runs your .t files • The .t files run tests, and reports results to standard output. • T::H analyzes the output and gives the thumbs up or thumbs down. What's a .t file? A .t file is just a Perl file Test::Harness looks for the .t extension by convention Each one runs one or more tests Results of each test are reported to standard output for parsing The test results format Simple text-based output One line per test says the test passes or fails.

  • Society of American Archivists Council Meeting August 25, 2008 San Francisco, California
    Agenda Item II.O. Society of American Archivists Council Meeting August 25, 2008 San Francisco, California Report: Website Working Group (Prepared by Brian Doyle, Chair) WORKING GROUP MEMBERS Brian Doyle, Chair Gregory Colati Christine Di Bella Chatham Ewing Jeanne Kramer-Smyth Mark Matienzo Aprille McKay Christopher Prom Seth Shaw Bruce Ambacher, Council Liaison BACKGROUND For several years, there has been a keen and growing interest among SAA’s members in the deployment of a robust content management system (CMS) featuring state-of-the-art Web 2.0 applications—wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, etc. While these types of programs are often associated with social networking, a comprehensive CMS would also redress a number of important organizational challenges that SAA faces: • How can SAA’s component groups (e.g., boards, committees, task forces, etc.) collaborate more effectively in an online environment? • How can official documents (e.g., minutes, reports, newsletters, etc.) be more easily published to the Web by SAA’s component groups, described and accessed via appropriate metadata, and scheduled for retention? • How can SAA enhance its online publishing capabilities and ensure that the necessary tools are available for authorized subject experts to edit and update such official electronic publications as Richard Pearce-Moses’ Glossary of Archival and Records Management Terminology , DACS Online, and the EAD Help Pages, as well as such important resources as an SAA standards portal or the Technology Best Practices Task Force working document? Report: Website Working Group Page 1 of 17 0808-1-WebWG-IIO SAA’s existing Web technology does not adequately fulfill these needs.

    Choosing a Platform as a Service for Software as a Service Provider University of Oulu Department of Information Processing Science Master’s Thesis Antti Kreivi 06.03.2014 2 Abstract Cloud computing is still very sparsely researched, especially concerning platform as a service(PaaS) deployment model. PaaS model is still a very new in cloud computing and often confused with more familiar IaaS and SaaS models. First the basic concepts of cloud computing such as essential characters, deployment models and service models are presented and everything in cloud computing lean on these main concepts. The main objectives in this thesis are, to find out why PaaS is better alternative than building an own platform over a selected infrastructure, and to justify, why the selected PaaS is the most suitable for a cloud software project. PaaS has many advantages and concerns that must be sort out before a decision of deploying one can be made. With PaaS, developers do not need to know much about underlying cloud infrastructure and the infrastructure services are usually completely hidden, instead they can focus more on the development. PaaS platforms bring also a lot of cost reductions from reduced hardware needs, staff and more predictable expenditure. The biggest challenges in PaaS are the security and privacy concerns, and possible vendor lock-in risks. The four PaaS alternatives which are measured are Amazon Web Services with Beanstalks, Google App Engine, Heroku and Cloud Foundry. These are selected from number of alternatives together with the contractor. These four were among the most well-known PaaS providers and they were the most suitable with the contractor's project and with the criteria.
