    CMS term

    I have taken a quick look at some of these, and I got the impression that the term CMS was used with a very wide meaning. (f.e. ClockingIT looks like a project management solution). However, it is impressive to notice how reach this market is in languages like PHP, Python and now Ruby, as opposed to what is available in Java. ./alex -- :Architect of InfoQ.com: .w( the_mindstorm )p.
