The Open Melody Software Group is pleased to announce the availability of Melody 1.0 for beta testing today.
For those of you who are not familiar with Melody, it is an open source content management and publishing system derived from the popular blogging tool Movable Type. Melody is for those who find value in belonging to, supporting and contributing to a community of helpful, passionate and devoted users, but it is also for people who want a secure, proven and high quality publishing environment for their personal web site or their business.
So what sets Melody apart from its predecessor, Movable Type? In a word — everything.
What makes it different and sets it apart is not just the name, the code or the features, but something much more fundamental. The software has been developed, maintained and supported through a proven process of open and transparent community based collaboration, a process that has produced so much of the great software we use everyday.
Melody is not your usual 1.0 release. Having been based on the Movable Type 4.34 code base it is a proven content management system that is highly extensible and customizable and has inherited the same secure, scalable and rock solid platform traits and benefits.
The new features include:
<ul>
<li>Comprehensive theme management and development</li>
<li>A new default theme, DePo Clean by <a href="http://powazek.com/">Derek Powazek</a></li>
<li>Revision histories for entries, pages and templates</li>
<li>In page publishing of entries, pages and templates via AJAX</li>
<li>Numerous screen and menu revisions to make it faster and easier to navigate</li>
<li>Easier customization and extension of the system — no Perl or PHP needed</li>
</ul>
That process has already led to hundreds of commits and thousands lines of code contributions to continue the development of Movable Type 4.34 that Melody was forked from. Among these many contributions from our community are nearly 100 outstanding submissions from MT and the integration or bundling of a dozen plugins.
Download it or learn more: <a href="http://openmelody.org/">http://openmelody.org/</a>

Melody 1.0 Beta 1 is here!

Who knows if the beta's will ever end, but honestly, you have to admit you're having fun testing right? Then you'll be pleased to know that beta 13 is now available.
Now snap on it and get this cleaned up so we can have an RC release will you? ?
<blockquote>
Since the Joomla 1.6 beta 12 release on October 18, we have fixed approximately 71 issues in the tracker. We have closed an additional 28 tracker issues. At the present time, we have 13 issues that are blocking the release 1.6 Release Candidate 1.

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.

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.
