Howard County Gives Back
Howard County has been all over talking (and writing) about their successful use of open source, not they’re announcing their own contribution to the open source world - MaiaCMS.
- is designed to make web publishing managed entirely by non-technical staff;
- allows for page creation and editing within a “look-and-feel” setting that is identical to the live product;
- is intended to augment the content management options available by being feature rich, while easy-to-use;and quick to deploy; and
- is free software — waiting for a community to support and enhance it! (a caveat - we release this software rough and ready for volunteers and community members to provide:
- documentation (esp. on how to install!)
- new modules
- style sheets
MaiaCMS includes modules for
- announcements
- change password
- form administration
- front page management
- job opening page management
- mass mailer generation (e-mail)
- promotion management
- remote patron authentication
- scheduled task management
- site contacts
- site logs
- site management
Awesome & congrats to Howard County!!! Read more about it in their announcement post.
