Decent, But Rather Limited

by Dinesh Saraiya on August 22nd 2007 at 05:08 PM

Setting Pligg up for use was not difficult. Pretty standard process when I did this about 12 months ago. Pligg has been fairly active, and has mirrored a lot of the features Digg offeres, including the 'Live' feed, which is cool. Though touted as a CMS, it is fairly limited in its true content management capabilities. For example, everything goes in as a post. The admin has access to managing those posts, but outside of that, creating things like static pages, permission-based sections, etc. are fairly limited. It does have basic things like RSS feeds, content workflow so an admin can approve and publish, categories, 'email links', etc. Bottom line - it is decent if all you want is a digg clone with basic features.

Developer Lessons from Open Source CMSs

Web development and design agency water&stone has released a thorougly-researched report on "Open Source CMS Market Share." By looking at a wide variety of internet metrics, they try to identify the leading and up-and-coming open source software for content management systems. While the data is interesting itself, and useful if you're looking to implement a CMS backed by a vibrant open source community, there are also some wider lessons for developers here.

What is going on with Pligg? Alternatives?

by Dinesh Saraiya on Aug 22, 2007

So, there are several articles around the web talking about Pligg putting itself up for sale. In the past several months, they have cleaned up their site and have been getting some buzz. Any other insights? Does anyone know if anyone is biting? What alternatives do we have to Pligg for a good web 2.0 platform for community content?
