RE: ask for help

I agree with Graham's statement about the 
inconsistency of terms -- I think CMS vendors are 
still trying to battle for leadership, and unique 
terminology is one way they do it.

FYI, content lifecycle is the notion that content 
is entered into a CMS, goes through the 
approval/workflow process to be published on the 
site, maybe moves from the homepage to archives, 
and is eventually deleted completely.

Content management lifecycle is the same thing, I 
imagine. And CMS lifecycle? It seems to refers to 
the longevity of the software itself, but that 
seems an unlikely concept. Both of these terms 
seem erroneous to me.

Hope that helps.
