CMS is a free open source content management system (CMS) to provide developers, programmers and site owners a web-based development and administration area.
Content management systems
A Web content management system is a software system that provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of webprogramming languages or markup languages to create and manage website content with relative ease. A robust CMS provides the foundation for collaboration, offering users the ability to manage documents and output for multiple author editing and participation.
Most systems use a Content Repository or a database to store page content, metadata, and other information assets that might be needed by the system.
A presentation layer displays the content to website visitors based on a set of templates. The templates are sometimes XSLT files.
Most systems use server side caching to improve performance. This works best when the CMS is not changed often but visits happen regularly.
