[opencms-dev] Advice please for an opencms stranger

[Olli Aro]

Hi Mandy,

I cannot see why not. We have successfully used OpenCMS to implement public
sector websites and portals for over 2 years now in the UK.  OpenCMS has
proven to be very flexible framework to build on and can be customised to
comply with the UK government standards and regulations.

We have used OpenCMS to also implement couple of small scale educational
projects previously, but would be very keen to prove OpenCMS suitability for
the UK educational sector in larger scale. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me at olli.aro at clicksandlinks.com, if you
would like to discuss this further or see some real life examples.

Regards,

Olli

Subject: [opencms-dev] Advice please for an opencms stranger

Hello,

Intro: I am seriously considering trying to use OpenCms at the heart of a
virtual learning environment for a secondary school in England (M$, Capita
and RM rule the roost in this area). However, I have never used it before
(or any other cms for that matter). It appears that this has not been done
before. The education sector appears to be very conservative in its approach
to open source software, I would like to try to change this!

Questions:

1) Am I taking on more than I may be able to chew? Already I find myself
confused/or irritated by not being able to use the current Tomcat release
(5) without making changes to the configuration. (Clear step-by-step
instructions would be welcomed).

2) Might it be possible to find a developer who is interested in packaging a
solution for the education sector and working with me in doing this? Where
should I go to investigate this further (needs to be UK based)? I think
there is a real opportunity here....

As always, apologies for basic/naive questions from a newbie.

Thank you.
cheers
