Daisy - the Open Source CMS/Wiki - version 1.3 released
Outerthought, the Open Source Java and XML competence support center, proudly announces the next release of Daisy, the Open Source CMS/Wiki framework.
Daisy 1.3 has been in development for 6 months, and packs many new features while providing a wealth of improvements to ensure easier implementation and integration. Daisy 1.3 has been reviewed favorably ("Very Good") in Infoworld's IT Product Guide (http://www.infoworld.com/Outerthought_Daisy/product_62007.html? view=0&curNodeId=16).
Notable new features in this release are:
* the introduction of document variants, to support different document branches and multi-linguality
* document tasks for the automation of batched document operations
* easier installation with more defaults and less configuration work
* scriptability using JavaScript (based on Rhino)
* support for multiple authentication schemes (ships with LDAP and NTLM support)
* multi-value fields for management of keyword-like metadata fields ("tags")
* a faceted navigation browser for metadata-based exploration of large document sets
* improved role management providing "group"-based access control organization
* a totally revamped and vastly improved skinning and publishing mechanism, allowing easier creation of custom look-and-feels, and easier implementation of custom Daisy-based applications
* preliminary RSS feed support
Daisy 1.3 is available - free of charge and liberally licensed - from http://cocoondev.org/daisy/.
Furthermore, Outerthought will be expanding its range of services around Daisy in the near future: managed Daisy Hosting, and fixed-price, turn-key Daisy-based CMS and knowledge management projects.
