<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Hello All,<BR><BR>I am very new to OpenCms
and have been evaluating it against liferay and alfresco. Liferay seems too much
of a portal then WCM. Alfresco on the other hand seems to be over-shooting my
requirements in many ways (plus the community edition scares me since it may not
be stable)<BR><BR>If I can get a solution to my main requirement with workflows,
I'll definitely be choosing OpenCms over the others.<BR><BR>Here is the scenario
I am trying to create.<BR><BR>1) A main web site with multiple sub-sites, for
example:<BR> - site a: www.mycompany.com<BR> - site b:
solutionssite.mycompany.com<BR> - site c:
supportsite.mycompany.com<BR> - site d: offtopic.mycompany.com<BR>2)
There are three different user roles (but it would not hurt if there are
four/five/six roles if there already is such an out-of-box
solution):<BR> - Content authors - who initially create/modify
content and send them to editors for approval<BR> - Editors - 1)
approve/reject content that come from authors 2) also create/modify content and
send to admin for final approval (publish)<BR> - Admins - 1)
approve/reject content that come from editors and/or authors (if approved, the
content is published) 2) create/modify content to be published directly<BR>3) A
user can be either one or more (even all) of author, editor, admin for either
one or more of site a/b/c/d. For example, a user named SERKAN can
be:<BR> - author for sites a,b<BR> - editor for site
c<BR> - admin for site d</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Is there an out-of-box functionality (or an
add-on module) that would provide me with the above functionality? I would
appreciate if someone can tell me if this is possible, and how.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Quick note: I am a business user, thus I
am not able to modify or add Java codes.<BR></FONT><FONT size=2><BR><FONT
face="Courier New">I am interested in the final version 7.0.4 of OpenCms and I
will be deploying it on a single server hardware:<BR>> Dual Intel Xeon
Processors with 2GB Ram<BR>> Windows 2003 Server R2 32bit<BR>> Sun JDK
1.5.xx or JDK 1.6.xx (whicever more appropriate in terms of OpenCms
requirements)<BR>> Standalone (no apache web server frontend) Tomcat
(with APR tcnative.dll) 5.5.xx or 6.0.xx (whicever more appropriate in
terms of OpenCms requirements)<BR>> MySQL 5.0.xx<BR><BR>Kind
