Drupal, joomla, typo3, plone, alfresco.... http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix Plone flash video sharing site CMS' all look the same... Drupal, joomla - not typo3... should decide on what you want to look like. Trouble with typo3 learning curve. Trouble not the CMS, but it's the lack of designers, and CSS people in the activist community. Graphical skills needed. Information architecture. Discussion about how to customise CMS and how difficult it is, what the learning is like. Hosting issues. Having one CMS on a server. Easier to customise one server for one CMS. As servers get more hits need tweeking for apache, caching etc. Sites often set up because you have a host with a CMS there already. Just quickly one day roll out a site and then never tweeked again. With more time better to start from the discussion about what it will do first. Joomla site. Decision to pick. Want some freedom from one 'webmaster'. Want international multiple users in control. The out of the box has too much information on forms etc. Wants tweeking for the community. It needs the demands to come from the people using it. The advantages of not developing too much yourself. As developers move on. Smaller projects well documented. Smaller project, maintaining secure well documented code. Problems of some larger CMS with low powered servers. Issues of working straight in HTML - data structure, level of users using it. Bonus of generating static HTML from database information. As soon as you want different access etc. it changes...

Security issues. clustering, distributed computing EngageMedia autogenerate videos to a torrent and they use the following: http://codecoop.org/projects/indytube/ to encode the videos to flash by pc's distributed all over the world Indymedia CMShttp://www.techmeet.org/txt/CMSSurveyListi http://www.techmeet.org/txt/CMSs Introduction, looking at different CMS possibilites from a CMS that is not just IMC. There hasn't been a decision about which CMS. What are the political angles to discussing which CMS to use? licencing open source each imc site is so different it would not make sense to use just one cms? GeotaggingAnyone using it?
