I've recently been asked to look into a product called Publicus (
http://www.saxotech.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=PRODUCTS02 ),
which is a content management system designed primarily for newspapers.
Our current take on it, based on a brief demo and a meeting with some
of their people, is that it seems like a quick and easy solution, but
we are interested in how easily modified it is. I have very general
experience with TeamSite and Zope, and Publicus seems to be much more
of an application that a framework. Of course we all know that there is
a reason that most CMS's are frameworks, and that is that each
installation has different needs and workflows, and thus there will
always need to be a degree of customization done.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much information online about
their product aside from some press releases announcing new clients. I
would be very interested in talking to anyone who has experience with
this product, especially with regards to how adaptable the
shrink-wrapped product is. Replies either to the list or p-mail would
be greatly appreciated.
