Nuxeo CPS 3.4.0 released 16
Stefane Fermigier writes "French open source software vendor Nuxeo has recently released version 3.4.0 of its Zope-based enterprise content management system CPS. CPS is a platform for building content management, collaboration and business process applications, that has been used in several majors projects in the French administration and industry. The result of more than one year of work by 30 contributors, CPS is one of the first major products to leverage the new Zope 3 component architecture."

In autumn 2005 AIIM defines ECM as follows:
Enterprise Content Management is the technologies used to Capture, Manage, Store, Preserve, and Deliver content and documents related to organizational processes.
---
These ECM components and technologies can be categorized as:
* Capture,
* Manage,
* Store,
* Deliver, and long-term
* Preserve.
This model is based on the five lead categories of AIIM International.
The traditional application areas are:
* Document management (DM),
* Collaboration (or collaborative software, groupware),
* Web content management (WCM) (including portals),
* Records management (RM) (archive and filing management systems on long-term storage media) and
* Workflow / Business process management (BPM)

CMS Systems (Score:2)
Off The Shelf content management systems bother me because they must surely be full of well known security holes.
If I had to have a CMS I would prefer to develop my own tailored system. At least that way I will have a chance of finding the bugs before a potential attacker.

No I can see that its written in Python. My concern is that CMS applications have a lot of code connected to open sockets and undergo rapid development.
Other applications which keep sockets open to the world include apache and qmail, but these applications change so slowly that there is time to identify and close security holes.

Zope, which is the platform om which CPS is based, is one of the bigger open source platforms for web application development, and has to my knowledge never been broken (which of course partly is because few have tried, but there you go).
You can rest assured

No, there have historically been very few security holes with CPS, Plone [plone.org], Silva [infrae.com], or any of the other Zope-based CMSs out there. In fact, there have been very few security holes with Zope [zope.org].
All that being said, there are a few sites that have built their own CMS on top of Zope (it has a decent CMF built into it, so it's far from impossible to roll one's own). The two biggest profile ones are probably Boston.com [boston.com] and Saugus.net [saugus.net], but I'm sure there are plenty of others.

zope 3 ? (Score:1)
This is false.
Although some zope 3 technology is included (as in all zope 2.9 installations) CPS is certainly NOT based on component architecture.
It's basically another CMF based system just like Plone.

CPS 3.4 is a Zope 2.9 app
It is not a Zope 3 app and although it leverages Zope 3 components certainly it is not based on zope 3 Component Architecture [zope.org]
