Asbru Web Content Management v7.3.1 released

This update includes a number of bug fixes and general improvements to make Pligg CMS compatible with the latest version of the EVB module as well as the new Karma module. There has been at least one security fix applied to this version of Pligg, so it is highly advised that all users make the upgrade in an appropriate amount of time

The Karma module will allow sites to update member karma values as users perform actions such as logging in, submitting stories, or adding a comment to an article. Previously karma was only being calculated when websites would manually set up a crontab on their web server, telling the server to crawl a karma update script every X number of hours. Now all of the updates are generated on the fly, making user karma counts up to date at all times and requiring no additional thought from the site administrator to set it up. Administrators will however have the option to manually configure karma values, by setting up how many points they want to give users for performing actions like submitting stories and comments, or voting on articles.<a href="http://www.pligg.com/blog/1174/pligg-cms-1-1-2-release/#ixzz13aWkmzC7"></a>

Pligg CMS 1.1.2 Released

Nuxeo, the Open Source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) company, achieved record quarterly revenue results in Q3 2010 driven by large wins in public sector and financial services in Europe and North America. Among the significant new customer wins is the Solon 2 project – an initiative with the Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information of the government of France to consolidate the management of laws and regulations and unify the legal publishing processes. Powered by Nuxeo Case Management Framework (Nuxeo CMF), the advanced case management routing and document review application will handle up to 500,000 cases per year.
This latest government win shows continued momentum in the adoption of open source in the Enterprise Content Management space. Previous successful projects in government with Nuxeo Enterprise Platform (Nuxeo EP) and related document and case management applications include: Ministry of Education, which adopted Nuxeo CMF to handle correspondence control across the school districts of France. Implemented to improve efficiency in the education system and allow school administrators to better respond to parental inquiries, the application facilitates better citizen-government engagement in line with open government principles.
Security and management of sensitive data was central to the selection of Nuxeo EP for case management with the Ministry of Justice. The “Messenger Project” in France sought to streamline the management of issues and correspondence across ministries, and ensure research and response times, all while diligently managing privacy issues. Full transparency into tasks and work performed by authorized Ministerial staff, inside the parameters of a granular access control model for electronic content, as well as flexible workflow and managed audit trails were requirements met by the Nuxeo platform.
Nuxeo CEO Eric Barroca will be speaking at the GOSCON10 conference, October 27-28 in Portland, Oregon on the topic of “Using Open Source to Create Efficiencies with Shared Application Development,” tapping into his extensive experience with public sector content management deployments to share some of the practices that government agencies can use to share code and reduce overall application development costs, as well as take control over their own technology priorities.
VP and Distinguished Analyst Andrea di Maio of Gartner notes that “Open source has certainly gained its place in the portfolio of solutions that most government agencies utilize,” and that “Government CIOs should consider program areas where joint development with peer agencies would be possible.”*
Shared services, such as application development to solve common information and content management problems, can be solved once and shared with peer agencies, demonstrating consistency of process and better stewardship of tax dollars. Notes Barroca, “our government client successes have proven that open source development methods create an environment to exchange best practices, reuse good technology and identify common needs specific to unique complexities of public sector. Nuxeo sees tremendous continued growth potential in North America helping government agencies deliver the content management applications needed to improve and streamline service delivery to citizens and internal stakeholders.”
*Gartner, Inc. From Modernization to Survival: Radical Cost Reduction in Government, Andrea Di Maio, July 22, 2010.

Bitrix, Inc., a technology trendsetter in business communications solutions, announces the availability of Bitrix® Site Manager 9.5 – this year’s most ambitious product release, launching a new industry standard in website management usability with its new Amber Ergonomics concept. Amber features a fully revised adaptive interface that enables click-away editing of web pages and site structure, offers handy website optimization tools and allows establishing a full-featured online business in a matter of hours.
Websites have become a major marketing tool for businesses regardless of the industry focus and organization size. However, difficulties arise with website management as even minor content changes may require the involvement of a web specialist thus increasing the solution TCO and preventing fast decision making.
JavaScript is disabled in your browser
The Amber concept in Bitrix Site Manager 9.5 effectively addresses the widespread demand particularly among small and medium-sized businesses for easy website management.
Editors can initiate work with content and structure directly on website’s frontend with a button click. The changes are instantly available on the website with opportunity to easily roll-back to the previous state.
The ribbon-style administrative console also offers quick access to commonly used web tools such as search engine optimization, web analytics, template wizards and performance monitor.
Website fine tuning and adjustment of additional modules can be done in the user-friendly backend powered by an adaptive interface. The adaptive interface stores the editor’s activity patterns and settings (favorites, filters, toolbars, etc.) and creates a portable personal workspace that brings the user’s preferences to any computer and browser the editor may use.
Amber also delivers clear advantages to web developers and VARs. Coupled with the turnkey websites (ready-made website templates) included in Bitrix Site Manager 9.5, Amber significantly accelerates the development process. It allows much more to be accomplished in less time than ever before, which is important when time is short, when time is money. At the same time, the product assures a higher rate of customer satisfaction and enhances the developer’s reputation as a trusted technology advisor, leading more business opportunities.
Bitrix Site Manager 9.5 includes a number of additional features that strengthen its position as a cost-effective, full-featured and easy-to-use website management system for small and mid-size businesses.
The integrated e-Learning feature now allows management of training courses straight from the website frontend. Editors may easily import ready-made SCORM courses, insert video and audio content, perform a morphological search with the D.I.G. engine and cascade courses, letting users proceed depending on their performance.
The pool of turnkey websites includes a ready-made template for an online store integrated with PayPal and other payment services. Page wizards let editors easily create new web pages from pre-set templates, while the system automatically transliterates the page titles into friendly URLs to contribute search engine optimization.

October 26, 2010- TORONTO, ON- Edentity Web Systems, in partnership with CTV Globemedia, are pleased to announce the re-launched, Agility-managed website for the Business News Network. The updated BNN site offers enhanced search tools, an updated user interface, more content on hosts and shows, as well as tighter integration with consistently updated market data.
Jack Fleischmann, General Manager of BNN, stated “BNN.ca is a popular financial media site, but we were having real trouble maintaining it. Our old platform was unreliable and continuously broke down. Edentity suggested that their Agility platform would allow us to rapidly update our content and we are absolutely delighted we switched. They rebuilt our website from scratch, trained our people, and delivered everything we asked for on a very tight schedule.” The previous BNN platform was not flexible enough to meet the rapidly changing needs of the site and the users that manage it. With Agility, the BNN team is able to consistently update content on the site with much less effort.
Andre Gaulin, Director of Agility Solutions was quoted as saying “We were very happy with how things turned out. We knew that the site had to perform well despite their sophisticated content requirements. BNN is a highly visited site for professionals and investors so we knew we had to deliver a premium solution. The Agility platform allowed us to do just that.” Fleischmann added that “Edentity set the bar high in terms of its expertise and standards for performance. They’ve got a great team and we’ll continue to work with them on new projects as we grow our business. Their team followed a detailed process to get the work done and executed on time (in fact, ahead of time). The site roll-out went according to plan and the little glitches that occurred were dealt with promptly. In our opinion, Edentity provides excellent service and great value for money.”
As a whole, the creation and implementation of the BNN site was done both quickly and efficiently. The large amounts of content were integrated and handled with ease, and we are pleased with what the site offers to its readers. For more information on the site and its offerings, please visit www.bnn.ca.
BNN.ca Extends the Network’s Viewing Experience:
Business News Network employs the strongest Canadian team of business anchors, reporters and analysts, and we found the best way to emphasize their roles and opinions. Users can get to know their favourite BNN anchors or reporters by visiting their own Personality pages.

Viewers can also visit the new “Shows” tab on the homepage to easily navigate to the latest videos and top picks of the site.

Edentity Launches Agility managed BNN site for CTV

SDL,  the leading provider of Global Information Management solutions, today announced the launch of SDL BeGlobal™. SDL BeGlobal delivers a central cloud platform to easily manage and deliver real-time automated translation for multilingual interactions across all forms of corporate communications. Combined with SDL TrustScore™, which enables content owners to publish content in any language with confidence, SDL BeGlobal allows monolingual content managers and business users to easily communicate with their global customers.
With 82 percent of customers severing ties with a company due to a negative experience, today’s customers have higher expectations than ever before (study conducted by Harris Interactive, 2010). In addition to receiving great customer service, customers expect more online and social interactions in their native language.  When it comes to online engagement, only 10 percent of web users that do not speak English will make purchases or engage with sites that are primarily in English (Common Sense Advisory, “Can’t Read, Won’t Buy”). These two key dynamics require companies to be able to communicate with their customers across languages and channels in a trusted, cost-effective way.
“Historically, content translation has been limited by budget and access to professional translation staff,” said Mark Tapling, CEO of SDL Language Technologies. “With constantly growing customer demands, businesses dd flexible alternatives to enable them to translate new types of content. SDL BeGlobal, coupled with new features such as Touchpoints, SDL TrustScore and brand and terminology management, empowers business users to have unprecedented control over multilingual assets in order to meet these well qualified customer needs.”

Through an easy-to-use web-based portal, SDL BeGlobal instantly enables users to manage global, trusted communications with customers in real-time, through one central interface for multiple types of content, communication and social media. SDL BeGlobal is an intuitive cloud platform that can turn any business user into a multilingual publisher, delivering content faster than ever before.
“Global enterprises face tremendous pressure to address the language challenges at the intersection of customer experience and the need for immediacy ,” said Mary Laplante, Vice President and Senior Analyst at Gilbane Group, a Division of Outsell, Inc. “Customers expect real-time content seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, in their language. SDL BeGlobal is a timely market response to the growing demand for solutions that address these challenges. It offers game-changing capabilities for companies that want to bring user-generated content into broader strategies and practices for managing multilingual content.”
“For the first time, here is a product on the market that business users can access to allow them to communicate across languages.  SDL BeGlobal brings powerful, proven automated translation into a secure, easy-to-use cloud platform, with nothing to install,” said Swamy Viswanathan, vice president of products and marketing for SDL Language Weaver. “Through the innovative TouchPoint feature, a single user can determine what they want to translate, the languages and quality required, and the destination of the translated content.  All of this can now be done at a cost not previously attainable.”
“This new platform is pre-integrated with existing Global Information Management solutions from SDL, so current customers can leverage work done in other SDL applications to extend their brand communication across more types of content,” said Mark Lancaster, CEO of the SDL Group. “SDL BeGlobal represents a key part of the Global Information Management solution offered by SDL.”
