Today the TYPO3 Association released the newest version of their Open Source project TYPO3. TYPO3 has been downloaded over 4.6 million times – making it one of the world’s leading Enterprise Open Source projects. The latest TYPO3 version 4.4 makes TYPO3 easier than ever before – especially for newbies. A TYPO3 website is now up and running in 5 minutes after it has been downloaded and using the included template it is ready to use right away.
The most important innovations at a glance:
<ul>
<li>Introduction Package, to start immediately</li>
<li>Updated Look &amp; Feel</li>
<li>Easier Installation</li>
<li>Faster Rich Text Editor</li>
<li>New Taskcenter</li>
</ul>
TYPO3 version 4.4 innovations in detail:
Introduction Package, to start immediately
The new introduction package offers TYPO3 newbies a configurable template immediately after installation. Using simple examples it demonstrates TYPO3 concepts and possibilities. At the same time this template can of course be used for the first own website, since e.g. the colour-scheme of the template can easily be changed without TYPO3 expert knowledge.
Updated Look &amp; Feel in the TYPO3 Backend
The TYPO3 Backend now has a new visual appearance with improved look &amp; feel. Additionally the entire backend CSS has been revised which also improves the overall backend loading speed. Custom backend skins can now be created much easier thanks to this restructuring.
Easier 3-Step Installation
Installing TYPO3 using the new installation script is a lot easier than before. In three easy steps TYPO3 is up and running and users can even change to their preferred database system in the process. Clever defaults keep the user from having to make too many decisions and therefore simplifies getting started with TYPO3.
Faster Rich Text Editor
The built-in editor „HTMLarea“ is now completely based on ExtJS, the JavaScript framework that TYPO3 includes since version 4.3. It is now the first and only feature-complete Open Source Rich Text Editor (RTE) that is based entirely on ExtJS, freely available for the public and now included out-of-the-box in TYPO3 version 4.4. For the TYPO3 Backend editor this means improved loading speed of the text editor without having to give up on any of its features.
New Task Center
The new TYPO3 Task Center allows for the creation and management of tasks for all TYPO3 backend users. Additionally editors can send notes to each other and instantly find the documents they edited recently. With its completely revised interface the new Task Center fits seamlessly into the new look &amp; feel of TYPO3 version 4.4.

Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware Releases 4.3 and 3.6LTS

Liferay, Inc., today debuted at the company’s East Coast Symposium event in Reston, VA, three new advancements for web developers and the Liferay community; Liferay Alloy UI, Liferay Live and a new program labeled “Design with Liferay” targeted at the extensive set of portal customers worldwide facing the end of feature life for their current platform.
With massive consolidation in the portal market in recent years, and several products effectively facing an end-of-feature-life phase, many customers are looking for a strategy to smartly transition to Liferay Portal.  Liferay’s excellent community (now over 28,000 people), innovative features and lightweight aspects provide the best option for these customers.  In response, Liferay today launched the “Design with Liferay” program, to support these business and technical managers faced with transition.  As part of the program, Liferay will provide for a limited time a “First Year Free” program to help business leaders in their transition plans plus is making available a transition workshop to help managers develop a successful plan of action.
“Liferay Portal is well loved in enterprises worldwide, but customers need a safe and cost effective plan to transition from their older platforms.”, said Paul Hinz, Liferay’s Chief Marketing Officer. “While customers could choose to pay for a support contract after a product enters feature end of life, implementations using this software become stagnant and the technical people and skills used to maintain deployments cannot be used elsewhere.  With the support of Liferay partners and the Design with Liferay program, this is a great time to transition to Liferay.”
Liferay also announced today Liferay Live, an innovative offer for Liferay community members and customers to grow their skills in Liferay.  The collaborative web-casting site will be used to provide the community both business and technical presentations on Liferay and partner technologies.
Additionally, as part of the Design with Liferay program, Liferay is announcing the immediate availability of Liferay Alloy UI.  Built in collaboration with Yahoo’s YUI project, Alloy UI provides a concise set of widgets used to develop portlets, portal pages or stand-alone web applications and web content.  Alloy UI is a UI meta-framework that provides a consistent and simple API for building web applications across all three levels of the browser: structure, style and behavior.   Liferay Alloy UI does not require a portal but can be used for any web application and when used with Liferay Portal, expands the simplicity and capabilities of an enterprise portal application.  Liferay Alloy UI allows customers looking to transition to Liferay from older platforms both a way to simplify the transition as well as allow designers to make the new deployment more feature rich ensuring the new services are more than the old.
“Alloy UI represents a new capability for web developers to simplify the development of rich UI’s,”said Brian Chan, Liferay Portal’s creator and Chief Software Architect. “We are happy to have worked on this with the Yahoo team and feel it will be a great benefit to the Liferay Community.”

CC: First off, let me thank you for taking time out of your no doubt busy day to speak with me today, I appreciate the opportunity.
CM: It's my pleasure. Thanks for the offer.
CC: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you came to be with Nuxeo?
CM: Yes. I started with Nuxeo in Sept 2009 as their first Chief Marketing Officer. Nuxeo embarked on an aggressive North American expansion program for 2009, and building an experienced sales and marketing team was part of that plan. I've spent most of my 16+ yr career in one aspect of ECM or another. I started doing consulting and technical training, then moved into more product management and marketing roles.
I've been with leading ECM companies such as Open Text, Hummingbird and PC DOCS. The last role I had at Open Text before joining Nuxeo was Director for their Enterprise 2.0 team. But my academic background is not in technology or computer sciences, I came to the world of content management through graduate work in history, so I've always been fascinated by aspects of information capture and long term preservation of digital content.
CC: Interesting, you said you came from OpenText to Nuxeo. OpenText has, over the last couple of years been doing some fairly aggressive acquisitions. What made you choose to leave for Nuxeo?
CM: I really am an avid trend watcher in the ECM space… and always made the choice to be with a vendor that I thought was pushing the envelope in shaping the next generation of ECM. The signals around me were lining up to show that we were (and are) on the brink of some interesting changes in this market.
Having lived the world of Enterprise 2.0 for 2 years, realized that the concepts of openness, transparency, community were not just buzzwords. When I started investigating open source ECM companies it struck me that companies like Nuxeo were not just talking about these concepts – but had been running their business with these principles for years. It seemed like the utterly logical next step in my career.
We are also seeing disruption from other new models – Sharepoint continues to grow in adoption, and the new 2010 release will push this momentum even further. The rise of interoperability standards, open source, Cloud and SaaS are all putting pressure on the leading vendors of the 1990s that are struggling to move architectures and business models forward.
CC: I would agree, it seems like a bit of a shift in the industry to a more open environment then it used to be.
CM: Open is important – but it's open source as well as open standards. CMIS is a really key innovation.
CC: Compared to open source competitors such as Alfresco, how do you feel Nuxeo differentiates itself? I know this has been asked a thousand times I'm sure but it bears repeating.
CM: Sure… Alfresco is certainly the most well-known open source ECM brand out there, so we're glad that much of the tough work on educating business buyers about the benefits of open source has been done. We differ in a few ways: 1) technology stack 2) business model 3) target markets.
1) Technology stack – we've architected our underlying ECM platform – what we call Nuxeo Enterprise Platform (Nuxeo EP for short) in a way that we think is technically superior to most other vendors out there. It's intended to be highly extensible, configurable, plug in friendly, and is proven to scale at rates Alfresco often cannot.
2) Our business model is intended to be clear and understandable by the end user or partner. We do not have a separate ‘free community” edition of the code vs. a paid for ‘enterprise edition' that customers need to purchase in order to get support. We have 1 downloadable offering (under LGPL license agreement) that is platform – so what the customer prototypes and pilots is exactly what we'll engage with them on a support contract. No unpleasant surprises or unplanned budget items down the road.
3) Our target markets are generally large enterprises or governments who have unique content management challenges that need a platform that can be extended and tailored for their needs. We don't try to chase the Sharepoint alternative message – offering basic content management is something we can do, but not where the power of our platform shines. We'd be much happier working to fill the gaps where Sharepoint doesn't have a strong fit instead of trying to go head to head with a de facto office standard.
But we also have Cloud editions of our DM offering for small or medium businesses who don't have the IT infrastructure to support an ECM deployment – we can get them up and running very quickly priced at simple monthly or yearly subscription rates.
CC: Do you find Nuxeo products tend to be used more in one type of market then another? By market, I am referring more to sector such as retail, manufacturing, warehousing, etc.
CM: Our top industry sectors are : government, high-tech engineering, education and aeronautics/aerospace. Generally we do well in organizations that perceive themselves to be innovators or leaders in their own industry segment – they've realized the value of using technology for competitive edge in this information economy.
CC: Who are your most high profile customers (that you can share with us)?
CM: Larger companies often have development teams and architects that know their business and technical requirements. These kind of organizations are becoming impatient with software vendors who have fewer resources than they do, don't know their business needs, and take too long to deliver fixes or new features. Some of the high profile customers using Nuxeo for ECM include: EllisDon ($3B construction management company in Canada), Cengage Learning (large K-12 online learning/encyclopedias), the French Press Association, French Ministry of Education, and numerous public sector agencies in Europe. Also, BBC.
CC: How is Nuxeo aligning itself with mobile application functionality? Is there any such existing integration functionality already in place?
CM: Yes, mobility has been a really hot area for us lately. Some of the beauty of being open source is that we're seeing creative applications and clients built for our platform all of the time. The new CMIS initiative is also inspiring developers to build out CMIS clients that work with any cmis-compatible ECM repository (including Nuxeo).
Toolkits for Android were published just in the last couple of weeks, and we have Nuxeo specific clients for iphone, windows mobile. We're also seeing some really interesting new partners come on board specifically looking to build document centric applications on iphones – but needing a repository for secure content storage at the back end. So 2 streams of innovation – interesting clients accessing Nuxeo stored content, but also using our enterprise platform to build brand new content applications with a mobile user interface.
CC: You recently announced some new integration possibilities with Lotus Notes. Can you expand on that for us?
CM: Sure. We worked with our Nuxeo Galaxy Partner metaLogic on this integration and migration toolkit. metaLogic has been a partner since 2009, and bring 2 decades of Lotus Notes and Domino Doc expertise.
With many Domino Doc customers trying to decide what to do with their legacy investment now that IBM is end-of-lifing it, metaLogic found a great way to help refresh their content management infrastructure by introducing Nuxeo as their next generation platform.
So this toolkit bring migration and integration support to help in a few ways – from simple Lotus Notes email filing and capture in Nuxeo DM repository, to more complex migrations of content and metadata when the customer choose to move entirely. They have early adopter clients that are seeing success on this movement today, and we're thrilled we could co-launch the solution for a global audience.
CC: What other integration options are available for Nuxeo that people may not be aware of.
CM: We work with a range of proprietary and open source vendors to help our customers round out their content management needs. Examples include scanning/capture and OCR with products such as ReadSoft. CMIS has opened up some amazing doors to integration even as it was in late draft stage. We have integrations with WCM tools such as EZPublish and Drupal, portal apps such as LifeRay, BPM tools such as Bonitasoft and Intalio.
CC: What can you tell us about Nuxeo Studio?
CM: Nuxeo Studio is one of our gems. We launched it in early 2010 and it has already started driving new opportunities and revenue for us.
Nuxeo Studio is a hosted design environment that helps our subscription customers and partners significantly fast track their application customization and configuration activities. Rather than needing developers to code changes specific to a site deployment, Nuxeo Studio lets business users with a technical background build new content types, lifecycles, content automation streams, even re-brand the look and feel of the application with simple drag and drop/wizard tools.
A business analyst or information architect who understands business logic, metadata, etc can build out new applications in hours instead of days or weeks. At the end of the design session, the customizations can be simply exported into a .jar file, and when dropped into their Nuxeo repository, they immediately can see the plug-in take effect and can get their users to work.
CC: With this suite of applications, Studio, EP, DM.. what is the next innovation we can expect to see from Nuxeo?
CM: We have a few cool things on the 2010 roadmap. In late June we'll be launching our Case Management Framework, which is another distribution of our Nuxeo Enterprise Platform foundation offering that has been extended and tailored to help companies and ISVs and integrators build case-centric business applications for vertical or horizontal purposes.
We have numerous success stories in government globally with applications such as correspondence management, so we've taken many of the common elements, templates, workflows, metadata and added the framework element to fast-track new application deployments. It's bundling much of the work and learning we've accumulated by doing successful deployments to help more organizations get their projects moving quickly.
We are also enhancing our Records Management offering so that we can get our US Federal DoD 5015.2 certification done in October 2010. We've got strong content lifecycle management capabilities in our core offering today, but have a couple of new features to add before we go for certification. So we will also drive new opportunities in the government and regulated industries who need the stringent records management features that the DoD spec outlines.
CC: How is Nuxeo working to help educate vendors, system integrators and customers on best practices? What tools are in place to make the transition from standard records management to electronic less “frightening” for companies seeing this as a requirement?
CM: I started my career in ECM as a trainer, so I'm pretty committed to education on all levels. We're on a constant improvement project to help improve our documentation, publish more whitepapers, get more customer stories out there.
We're also big supporters of the industry associations like AIIM and ARMA who are committed to these vendor-agnostic best practices. I'm constantly trying to keep my blog fresh (as does the whole Nuxeo management team) so that we're sharing what we learn, what we read, what our customers/partners do that works.
There's a really vibrant ECM community out there on the various social networks, so we do what we can to connect people and publish content that is useful and can help projects get moving.
CC: Well, Cheryl. That's about all of the questions I had for you today and you've done a great job of answering them in good depth, I appreciate that. Do you have any parting comments you would like to make? (Consider this your open mic moment)
CM: This has been fun, glad to have the opportunity. Final comments? Just that this is one of the most fascinating times I've seen in the world of ECM. Some of the changes we're seeing today – move to interoperability, split between the ECM platform vendors vs. ECM Suite vendors, rise of open source and SaaS – “means the innovation in space are going to come from some new vendors and fresh perspectives. Watch this space ? “

Drupal 6.17 released

The Injader CMS project has decided to close it's doors for good and no longer continue producing this open source CMS. For those interested, here is the post from the Injader website announcing this decision. We wish all the best to Ben and his team:
<blockquote>
After many, many months of consideration, I have made the tough decision to bring the Injader project to a close. The purpose of this post is to explain my reasons for ending the project, and what the future holds. Injader started as a closed source project called Majestic, way back in May 2005. The goal of the system was to make my life easier, as I was sick of updating my sites by hand. In this respect, the project succeeded. Injader has allowed me to set up numerous blogs and websites, and it's also been used for several sites run by family and friends.
In October 2006, Lauren and I emigrated to Australia. We joined a small software company that needed a new website along with some other web-based tools. Majestic was used for this purpose and I developed it rapidly, adding various features that the company required for its operations. The system was a success here, too, and the company still uses it to this day.
By September 2007, Majestic had become a commercial product owned by Injader Pty Ltd, which Lauren and I set up. Unfortunately, this didn't work out. Gradually, the price was slashed, then we offered a free version, before finally closing the business. Majestic was rebranded as Injader, and released under an open source licence in mid 2008. Development continued, and interest picked up as the price tag was no longer a barrier to new adopters. Once we moved back to the UK, it quickly became apparent just how much free time we had when in Australia, and how little time we had after we moved back. I've added new features and streamlined the product in a few ways (mainly due to the extremely valuable feedback from Ovi at Distinctive Quality), but some major work is required before the project can fully mature. There are many, many things that need improving, especially the code. Injader started out as a learning project to allow me to pick up PHP, and a lot of it is at least 2 years old. Injader 2.5 was going to be a huge rewrite, and I did make some good progress. But if I'm totally honest, after spending a few of my weekends working solidly on it, I'd be surprised if it's more than 2% complete. I feel like I've done so much work on it… and yet that doesn't seem like an unrealistic estimate of how much is left to do.
So, what happens now?
Sites that are currently using Injader will not cease to exist, unless the sites are closing anyway. All of my blogs will stay as they are for the moment, at least until I can plan what to do next. I might start a new project (probably for my use only) and move those sites across to it. Or I might write an export script and put the sites on another platform. I don't know yet. If you're using Injader at the moment and you don't want to move away, that's your call, I don't mind what you choose to do. If I do write a script to move my blogs elsewhere, I'd be happy to share it on Injader.com.
As the project is open source, there is always the option for someone else to continue it. If you're a budding coder and you feel like taking on Injader, go ahead. But please understand my reasons for closing the project and that a lot of work is required to get it moving. It hasn't died – but it never really took off. If you're interested, I should point out that outside of a few queries, I really can't provide a lot of support. I can tell you how the framework was set up, the good things and bad things in the system, and what was planned for the future. I can't write any of the code though. You need to be prepared to learn the system on your own, with minimal pointers. (Honestly, I get asked to do this all the time – it's tough at first, but very rewarding if you persevere.)
I'm sure there will be a few people who are disappointed by this decision. I'm sorry if this is the case. I have been thinking about this for a while now, and I believe it is the right choice.
If you'd like to stay in touch, you can find me in the following places:
My blog: http://www.benbarden.com/
Thank you for your support over the years – it is very much appreciated. It has been an enjoyable experience and I have learned a lot.

Injader CMS project closes its doors

Platformic, an end-to-end online web development environment (OWDE) and content management system (CMS) provider that allows businesses to quickly and easily build and maintain websites without coding or third party authoring tools, today announced it has been selected as the platform of choice to develop and manage the websites for three stations recently acquired by Local Media of America (LMA), a subsidiary of The Broadcast Company of the Americas-Magic 92.5 (XHRM-FM), Z-90 (XHTZ-FM), and 91X (XETRA-FM).
The new websites, powered by Platfomic and launched in only one week, are a testament to the quick time to market, flexibility and ease-of-use of the company's technology. In January 2010, LMA acquired the assets of San Diego-based Finest City Broadcasting, operator of the three radio stations serving the San Diego market, and that can be found online at:
<ul>

<li>Z-90 (XHTZ-FM):  <a href="http://www.z90.com/pages/main" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.z90.com/pages/main</a></li>
<li>91X (XETRA-FM) Local. Independent. Radio.: <a href="http://www.91x.com/pages/main" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.91x.com/pages/main</a></li>
</ul>
“At Platformic, our goal is to make it easier for broadcasters and other businesses to harness the power of the web-with one platform for media publishing; targeted ad serving; managing content, videos, mobile content, etc. We aim to make the web more manageable and put full control in the stations' hands,” said CEO of Platformic, Claudio Canive. “We are excited about the cool things Magic, Z-90 and 91X are doing with Platformic to further build those brands and interact with listeners online, and of course, pleased by the further expansion of our platform.”
Platformic's patented technology, used by leading companies around the globe such as Comcast, Fox, Tribune, Bicoastal Media, Broadcast Company of the Americas and Peak Broadcasting, enables users to easily build and manage media-rich websites that incorporate social media tools and user generated content (UGC). Users can “visually” create layouts and manage content from a browser in a fraction of the time while adhering to professional standards. The result is a completely customized website and CMS with the ability to change the layout and content quickly and easily. Users can update sites or change their entire look in minutes with no downtime.

Platformic Selected by Leading San Diego Radio Stations

Ephox Corporation, a leading provider of enterprise online authoring software, and Moxiecode Systems, the developer of the leading open source JavaScript editor, announced today that the companies have entered into a partnership agreement. The agreement enables Ephox to provide commercial licenses of TinyMCE, in addition to providing support and integration services to the TinyMCE community.
TinyMCE is an open source, WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and JavaScript-based HTML editor used by millions to author content for web pages, blogs, emails, wikis and more. Popular for its full set of rich text editing features, TinyMCE is also known for being lightweight, fast, and browser compatible. Downloaded more than three million times on Sourceforge and used by over 22 million WordPress publishers, TinyMCE is trusted by a large community of users. In addition, TinyMCE has been gaining momentum with enterprise software companies such as EPiServer, Interwoven and Oracle, as well as popular open source content management systems such as Alfresco and Joomla.
The partnership between Ephox and Moxiecode came as a result of widespread need for enterprise grade support and licensing for TinyMCE. When integrating the editor into their software or web site, some companies prefer a standard commercial license with clearer entitlements than an open source license provides. Others need help from a team of expert support staff. Ephox Enterprise TinyMCE fills these gaps with a degree of reliability that is unprecedented with open source online authoring software.
“Our customers have been asking us for enterprise level support,” said Joakim Lindkvist of Moxiecode. “Ephox has a proven track record providing quality support in the authoring market. We believe that this partnership enables our customers to get the best of both worlds – the leading JavaScript editor supported by the leading authoring company.”
Ephox will initially introduce three Enterprise TinyMCE offerings: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. The Gold subscription offering consists of a commercial license packaged with enterprise support, which includes email and phone support, installation guidance, and version upgrade assistance. Customers also are entitled to all fixes and release updates during the subscription period. The Silver and Bronze offerings include commercial licenses for those clients that do not require enterprise support. In addition to the commercial offerings, Ephox will make available a Community Edition package under the LGPL open source license at no charge.
“We are excited about our partnership and the introduction of Ephox Enterprise TinyMCE,” said Andrew Roberts, CEO of Ephox. “With this partnership, customers can now access the leading Java and JavaScript editors on the market from a single source. Further, the JavaScript editor user community – which includes Fortune 500 companies and leading software vendors – has been clamoring for a JavaScript editor backed by enterprise-grade support. With offices around the world and over a decade in the business, Ephox is uniquely qualified to deliver on this market need.”
Ephox has a long history of providing best-in-class functionality for online authoring. In the future, Ephox plans to leverage its expertise in this area by contributing back to the TinyMCE project and bringing additional add-on functionality to the JavaScript based authoring space.
