MySource Matrix

As pointed out by jbjones, this ounds like a really great product actually: http://matrix.squiz.net/

hmmm... its a great system! lots of features there, workflow and publishing... wooo

I had come accross this one a while back, was still in beta... forgotten about it since, nice catch ! Maybe I had discarded it because it uses the PEAR librairies, don’t remember...

From the video, I would add metadata schema seems really enterprise class, with Dublin Core properties... also revisionning with rollback... Last but not least, frontend editing seems really good. On top of the video, the overview doc (PDF) contains a lot more info (see this page : http://matrix.squiz.net/download/documentation)

Definitely worth doing more research on this... I’ll install, check how it behaves (plus the video is from an old version 3.1 while the current is 3.8...). Also, I’ll browse their website and community, see how they communicate and all

Edit : Currently, MySource Matrix only support PostGreSQL and Oracle, not MySQL... their positionning seems to be definitely more the ECM segment...

Maybe a good target, but I will remind everyone, our new 1.0 roadmap includes the ability to define Dublin core metadata to any resource, or any other metadata structure someone might adopt of need to model for a specific purpose. Add usage of native or PHP 4 emulated PDO (the new db standard for PHP 5.1+, with support for SQLite, MySQL, PostreSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server, ODBC, etc., though we will initially only provide a MySQL optimized implementation for 1.0, followed by other implementations as they can be completed), lightweight PHP4/5 compatible ORM with RAD features and run-time persistent class generation, full content revisioning, multicultural content services, etc., and we’re going to be running them out of business soon enough, too.

Thanks for the very interresting input about the future !
Exciting
