[KLUG Members] CMS Systems

[Michael Lueck]

Since you have already looked at xoops, cool, that is where we are headed for
our needs for the Electronic Software Distribution logging / report server as
well as public web sites. One team member is already digging through the xoops
code as well as modules we are interested in, fixing bugs, commenting, etc...
and will be sending that contribution back to the project team. Many of the
modules are not as well integrated as they could be - using their own code and
not common xoops shared code so for the modules we need that is being cleaned
up. They don't always generate HTML code which meets the spec of
validator.w3.org so we are fixing that as well. Their generated code is not SEO
(search engine optimization) friendly so that will be corrected as well.

It is a very good starting point for us, saves us a lot of time.

Audit logs will be added. Some sort of LDAP authentication for sure.

Additionally there is a DB2 CLI interface for PHP, so we will be working on
updating the xoops database object to use both the existing interface and also
support targeting a DB2 back end which we will be using. To me LAMP is almost
fine... MySQL \= "sleep well at night".
