         I have found two useful resources: (1) the archives of this 
mailing list, and (2) the OpenCMS manual, which is downloadable from the 
OpenCMS.com site. The manual is in PDF form.

         I have found these sites to be useful:

         www.CMSwatch.com
         www.CMSinfo.org                 -- has many links to web sites.
         www.camworld.com/cms/           -- a mailing list devoted to CMS's.
         www.clueful.com.au/             -- good list of open source CMS's.
         www.oscom.org           -- one of the few good sites devoted to 
open source CMS's.
         www.edocmagazine.com            -- like CMSwatch, this site 
devotes far more space to proprietary CMS's than to open source CMS's.

I hope that information that helps.
