e107 takes its origin from code originally used on the LiteStep websites. Jalist who was responsible for the development of those websites, wanted to re-use some of the code from litestep.net and ls2k.org and built a more modular system. This system could then be used as a codebase for other people to create their own community driven websites.

The codebase was maintained solely by Jalist until version 0.612 when a development team was formed. The development team now develops, maintains and builds releases for the e107 system.

In 2006 and 2007, e107 was nominated by the public as one of the five finalists in The Packt Open Source Content Management System Award, the results can be found here packtpub

The current stable release is 0.7.11. This version is an almost total rewrite of the 0.6x tree and includes hundreds (maybe thousands) of added features and bugfixes.

A website is important if you are looking for an online presence. But when your site is, it’s important that you manage the content in a way. You need to make many changes on your site. This is the e-commerce sites packages, OS commerce, content management system, in short CMS, come into play. Content Management System (CMS): This system is the heart of the web development and management of web content, the provision of facilities for the production, modification, archiving and removing information from a repository of resources organized in the rule in a database.

This tool allows you to maintain your site. CMS is a web application to manage the content on the site. Most companies have their content on their sites. Enter. CMS is very crucial for the success of a website. It helps creation, storage, management and publication of all information in an organized manner. In short, it streamlines all the data in a consistent and easily accessible way.

Here are some reasons why your site needs a CMS:

1. Updation content on demand: Your site needs to be updated as nobody wants to read stale content. With CMS your Web content in the shortest time. It allows you to create, edit, organize, manage and publish content (be it graphics, photos, documents, etc.) very easily.

2. Technical Knowledge is not required : CMS is for you. No HTML or programming required, which means that you don t need to be technically sound to update the content. All technical details are provided by CMS. It allows you, your colleagues, and non-technical staff, content authors to update the content.

3. No Time restriction : Do not let your site without updates from time limitation. CMS allows you to carry out changes, if they are needed again. This is important if your company relies heavily on the site. CMS usually simplifies the process required to secure for content.

4. Reduce Website Maintenance Cost : As already mentioned, you don t need tech-savvy update content. This not only reduces the site maintenance costs, but also reduces the need for site management. The IT team can use their time more productively.

5. Archive Your Web Content : Archiving content is much easier because a CMS uses a database to store, retrieve and manage content. New content updated and get older. You can always return when the need arises.

6. Build Site Navigation : Content Management System navigation is usually dynamically driven, which means that future updates can be made without the entire content. Menus are generated automatically based on the database content.

7. Improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO) : If you want to drive the n-site traffic on the basis of keywords and phrases, then CMS can be a good choice. Many CMS have-in options, the keywords, meta tags, hyperlinks, descriptions, etc. These can be automatically generated from the site content, resulting in improved SEO.

The Web publishing feature enables individuals to use a template and other tools to create or modify Web content. The format management function enables content including documents in HTML format or Portable Document Format (PDF) for the site. The revision control feature allows content updated to a newer version or return to an earlier version. Revision Control tracks and any changes to files of individuals. Another feature is the indexing, search and retrieval. A CMS system indexes all data within an organization. Individuals can then search for data using keywords, the CMS system calls.

Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, PHP-Nuke, WordPress and Movable Type are some of the popular CMS out there. All these CMS are quite similar in terms or content management, and applications. I had been using Drupal for a class project for quite some time now and I find it very reliable. We can add applications to Drupal by downloading it from the Drupal website. This system of applications tools is also implemented in other CMS. In Drupal, these applications are called ‘modules’. Joomla refers to it as ‘extentions’ while Meebo refers to it as “extensions”. To get the feel to most of the open source CMS out there, try Open Source CMS. It provides a small and simple demo for each of the CMS listed there.

In short, CMS is a way to site development much easier and faster. What Web developers take days to do with the conventional Web development methods, we can do now, in a few minutes. However, there are restrictions on what you can do with the help of a CMS than that of using the traditional method of production of websites.
