Mysource Matrix News & Articles

Normally in this space we look back over the current month and forward into the next month at what the various open source CMS projects are up to. But rather than blindly putting out an update for January, we thought we'd look farther ahead into what everyone wants to accomplish throughout next year. Call it our open source 2010 predictions with less guesswork and high hopes.

Squiz.net (news, site), the Australian firm behind the MySource Matrix CMS, has released a lite offering, MySource Mini under the GPL license. Squiz has made their CMS fully editable from what they have dubbed the Viper inline interface. Context sensitive help and a selection of pre-loaded design templates ensure that users can have a basic site up and running quickly.

A versioning system which tracks changes to content and integrated image galleries and a movie player round out the features included by default in a MySource Mini CMS install. The image galleries offer an inline or lightbox-style option, and thumbnail images are generated automatically.

The video upload wizard, accessed from the inline editor, makes it easy to upload and display video for the built-in player.

As befits a micro CMS, ease of use is the buzzword for MySource Mini. In a nice little twist, the MySource Mini installer is also available as a VMware bundle, which can be auto updated to avoid complicated update procedures.

Squiz.net, the Aussie maker of  MySource Matrix CMS (news, site), has unveiled the latest version of its open source content management system, packing in new features and bug fixes.

UK-based Sydney-based open source vendor Squiz.net (news, site) has rebundled its MySource Matrix v3.20 content management software so that companies looking to install it will be able to acquire all its different elements, even the high-end applications, using its existing GPL, out-of-the box and free of charge.

The company says its goal is to give its clients the tools to build even the most complex web systems without having to install additional product extenders, modules or widgets.

Sydney- and UK-based Squiz just announced they’ll be conducting a demo of MySource Matrix 3.12, their open source CMS solution, at London’s Internet World from May 1-3.

If you happen to be in London in the next two weeks, drop by the Adam Street members club for the latest of Squiz’s “Best Practice” seminars. On Thursday the 26th the OSS aficionados will be regaling open ears with an exclusive called “How to SEO Like a Pro.”

For a small taste of what type of information you may glean, check out our recent article on SEO and CMS deployment best practices.

What's History 2.0? If Web 2.0 is any indication (and yes, we're as tired of pushing the term as you are of reading it), History 2.0 suggests the annals of mankind can be broken open for free perusal, organized as an individual sees fit, and -- dare we say it? -- fair game for revision.

Whether the time for that has come isn't our call to make. But Keesing's World News Archive, a new search and collaboration tool created by the open source and Web 2.0 gurus at Squiz, brings the term devastatingly closer to reality by enabling public-wide search of 76 years of history.
