If there is any area where Open Source and Free Software
had the most visible influence and changed already the whole playing field
then this is, operation systems apart, the area of content management systems
and group communication on the web. The free 'engines' of content management
systems, sometimes also called Weblogs, that we present here make it easy
for people, as individuals and as groups, to publish and regularly update
content on web-sites, organise it in categories, manage editorial processes
such as filtering and rating of content and have lively online discussion
boards. If you are an NGO or an artists group, a student union or any other
group with little money and big ideas this is the way to go. You will need
some technical skills to install those systems but once they are running
they are relatively easy to maintain and adapt. Go, publish!
