    I found this article via @snookca over on twitter (Jonathan Snook): http://redotheweb.com/2008/09/19/designing-a-cms-architecture/

    There are some really interesting points about consideration in building out a CMS. I think the author goes over board with some of his ideas of normalization of data types but otherwise lots to think about both in implementing modx CMS or rolling your own on CI or Symfony or ground up PHP/MySQL.

      Thanks for posting that one Jay. Great stuff indeed; maybe some fodder for some new articles about Revolution.

        Very nice one, there are quite a few arguments that can be turned into selling points for MODx grin

        Funny how answers to several of his "fundamental questions" are many arguments I use with prospects to turn them towards MODx rather than other solutions... I won a few contract on this ground precisely. Of course we don’t have versions or worflow yet but that’s things coming in the future smiley
