On 2003-07-17 several members of the community participated in an IRC chat to organize an effort to improve content management features of OpenACS.

It was decided to organize a user-interface group to develop a list of features and screen mockups to define the goals of this project. People who are interested in working with this group include:

• Mark Aufflick
• Dave Bauer
• Carl Robert Blesius
• Alfred Werner

It was decided that the content-repository is a strong package and will remaint he base of any content management effort.

• CMS UI Mockups
  
• Article about using Movable Type to Manage a Web Site
  Moavable Type is a very popular system to manage content. It includes many features such as a photo album, comments, etc. It is advertised as a weblog tool, but really is a content management system of sorts.
