That's a very tough question, as many things are counted as a CMS. Looking back at the jobs I've had before, the CMS allowed non-programmers to build a complete site from scratch, writing only HTML and CSS. On the other hand, that's perhaps not the defining feature; rather, it's allowing the users to enter content which is then presented on the front-end. But almost any web-based system could then be termed a "CMS"... I suppose a CMS is more flexible, allowing users to do a lot without having to request custom-built new features just to add a new page to the site's menu, for example. I'd use Drupal as a benchmark because I know it well, and it goes very far in allowing non-programmers to define custom content types, install modules that allow them to define almost everything. There's a query builder that allows you to define custom reports/overview pages and so on. Unfortunately it's also dog slow because of this modularity and extensibility. There's a cost to everything... > * How many CMS in Scheme are there already? None that I know of, but I never looked too hard. Cheers, Peter
