Content Management Systems
A content management system (CMS) might be simply defined as a system which supports the publishing or sharing, editing or manipulation, searching and indexing, archival or versioning of content, frequently documents, typically using Web technologies. A more extensive definition can be found in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system Wikipedia topic entry].
In plainer terms, content management systems are the applications used to manage Web sites where the writers, editors and users are able to upload, edit and manage content without needing to know too many of the technical details about how the site actually works.
Python-based products, although in the minority in the larger market of CMSs, possess several inherent advantages. Python's ["Unicode"] capabilities, for example, make its derived products particularly popular in continental Europe and Asia, as compared to those based on PHP, Ruby, and so on.
Zope-based Solutions
The most established Python-based content management systems are those derived from ["Zope"], notably [http://www.plone.org Plone], [http://www.cps-project.org Nuxeo CPS] (though Nuxeo 5 will be switching to Java as its development platform) and [http://www.infrae.com/products/silva Silva]. These solutions have been used in large scale and high profile deployments over a number of years, and a range of organisations provide support and services for those solutions.
Non-Zope Solutions
