Basic Requirements for CMS Projects

Excerpt from http://www.wareprise.com/open-source-php-content-management/

• People with average knowledge of word processing can create the content directly.
• Little or no HTML knowledge needed.
• Content is managed through a cycle of capture, storage, retrieval publication, presentation, versioning, and archiving.
• Users are assigned roles and permissions that prevent them from editing content which they have no rights.
• Publishing of content can be time-controlled, hidden for later use or require user login with password.
