Content management ecosystem

A Content management ecosystem is a constellation of content management systems weakly linked together by shared purposes, contributors, and materials. There are synchronization, language, format, and communication issues to overcome across collections of CM platforms.

History

(more to come)

The Content Management Ecosystem model originated from the PhD research of OLPC volunteer Todd Kelsey, who at the time of writing has been exploring how various open source content management systems and related tools could be used to help support scalable, accessible and sustainable community websites.

OLPC

As of late Nov of 2007, there is discussion about how OLPC initiatives can be explored through a combination of such systems; and how to make changes in existing communities in the CME transparent across other communities.
