Hi guys,
This is a thread from ESUG mailing list, important for Aida too:
http://forum.world.st/Smalltalk-hosting-td3384077.htmlHere is my recent post:
My opinion is, that we are good in CMS *as a framework*, but I doubt we
will ever be in CMS for end users. CMS as a framework means, that you
are building your customized solutions on top of it, and that CMS
functionality is usually only a tiny part of a whole solution. And we
are good in complex things, so having a Smalltalk CMS in this case is a
good thing.
That's at least how Scribo CMS is used and how it was actually born.
Scribo is namely an open sourced part of bigger commercial offering. I
prepared some classical public sites with Scribo as well and for me as
Smalltalker it was easy. But immediately when I started to explain
Scribo to others , I came to conclusion, that a lot more needs to be
done for Scribo to become a more end-user friendly.
To invest a time and resources in that, is it worth? That's my question
too. But so far I'm happy to use Scribo as a framework.
