Ok, you have checked all major solutions available today, from those recommended by CMSWatch to those listed at DMOZ. Can we suggest to consider YACS as well? You may be surprised by the number of features that do match corporate needs. Well, actually YACS has been used to support some intranet web sites for about 18 months, and therefore we do have the experience of such things Bernard The vision Sat, 27 Nov 2004 23:55:42 GMT http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-363-why-should-you-suggest-your-boss-to-switch-to-yacs#comments 0 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/comments/post.php/article/363 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/comments/feed.php/article/363 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A363 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-216-look-ma-yacs-has-no-group-to-manage-access-rights http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-216-look-ma-yacs-has-no-group-to-manage-access-rights Look at other blog or CMS packages. Do you know one that does not feature user groups? But YACS has been built with other paradigms in mind. If you want a personal blog, a simple personal account is enough. And if you want to actively support a community, you can benefit from the scalability of the YACS approach, featuring following classes of user profiles: Associate, Member, or Subscriber Bernard The vision Sat, 07 Aug 2004 10:32:53 GMT http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-216-look-ma-yacs-has-no-group-to-manage-access-rights#comments 0 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/comments/post.php/article/216 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/comments/feed.php/article/216 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A216 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-202-small-is-beautiful http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-202-small-is-beautiful Every web surfer has to know one of internet giants, such as Yahoo!, Google, Amazon. In France, most of the Internet traffic is driven by FNAC.com, voyages-sncf.com, and a handful of ISP portals. That's fine, but it does not explain the millions of web sites spidered by search engines. Weblogs have shown the way: the next move for the Internet is to let individuals, or small groups of people, express themselves as easily as possible through the web. One very important side-effect of this evolution is probably that we don't need web portals anymore Bernard The vision Thu, 29 Jul 2004 16:10:50 GMT http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-202-small-is-beautiful#comments 0 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/comments/post.php/article/202 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/comments/feed.php/article/202 http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A202
