I am working on identifying CMS' that can and have been used successfully for producing online magazines. We put out a small monthly magazine (8-12 articles per month) and are interested in upgrading the website from static HTML to some sort of CMS. We'd prefer to stick with F/OSS products. In reviewing a number of the CMS', we've identified three so far that look promising: * Plone * Silva * Cofax I have been playing around with Plone and Silva for the last month or so and I'm pretty sure I can create what I need with either one of these, but I want to make sure I've done due diligence by reviewing all of the potentially viable CMS solutions. I just recently found Cofax so I will need to review what it can do as well. We currently have a dedicated server running Debian and Apache and prefer not to move away from this. CMS Requirements: * Document versioning * Metadata for documents and images * Being able to set a publication date * Setting an archive date * A online subscription option would be very nice and the software manages the user base subscription/expiration date (subscribe to premium content like certain articles) * Ability to use photos in articles (our magazine is pretty photo intensive) * Some sort of advertising options or at least being able to add our ads to the page templates * Ability to template the pages (the easier the better) * Security is very high on our list * Auto Table of Contents generation * Ability to run Polls * Ability to use Forms * Ability to list related documents based on metadata * Excellent search engine * Web standards compliant * Extensible So far I've looked at Plone and Silva and have also reviewed what PHP-Nuke and PostNuke can do and that's as far as I've gotten before I found this list. Any advice that the wisdom of this list could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Shane Graber Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine
