[opencms-dev] What's Channel

[Alex Epshteyn]

Hi all,

I had posted a similar question some time ago with no response. I wonder
if:

1) There is any documentation about channels?
2) No one on this list is using channels?
3) guess - Channels are intended for content categorization as a general
purpose alternative (to be used with cms_module_master ??) to channel
mechanism used by News module?
4) guess- Channels are intended for defining multiple "deploy targets",
like different publications, etc.  
5) Someone used channel successfully and would like to share their
experience?

I am sure I could get some info by looking closer at the source code,
but I would not like to make any assumptions that may be different from
the authors' intentions.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

I'v not found any documentation about Channel, available in the
administration interface, what's it ? how to use it ?

I'v looking for Content Syndication solution with OpenCMS, is Channel
for this purpose ?

Thanks in advance.
