This article will give you
a better explanation of how Weebo fits into
the content management landscape. What is
Weebo?
First and foremost, Weebo
is a Content Management System (CMS). It
is the engine behind your website that simplifies
the creation, management, and sharing of
content.
There is an excellent article
on How to evaluate a Content Management
System (written by James Robertson) that
covers the features of a good content management
system in great detail.
The goal of the Weebo project
is to meet most of the requirements highlighted
in the above article. As each day in development
goes by we are getting nearer and nearer,
while at the same time building a solid
core which can be extended by third party
developers. In the hands of a custom developer,
this makes Weebo a powerful platform for
a wide variety of Internet applications
that go far above and beyond the simple
creation of content.
Weebo is not a typical "portal"
solution.
While Weebo can be modified
or extended to provide this style of site
this is not the goal of the project. Weebo
is aimed at the more squarely at corporate
websites or sites for small to medium businesses,
families or personal sites.
The Weebo Development Team
focuses on building a solid application
framework rather than on add-ons that are
typically found in many portal solutions.
This keeps the Weebo core extremely lightweight
and efficient, thus making it easier for
anybody to extend Weebo through custom third
party component and modules that directly
serve their needs. |
