Blogging platform for enterprise?
« on: January 11, 2007, 08:56 PM »
One of my colleagues asked me this:

........ has kindly mentioned that you may be able to provide some advice and perhaps a list of options for the selection of a blogging system.  Here are the high-level requirements:

* LDAP support
* easy to use for those not too savvy
* "brand-able"... able to plug into existing portal and support css
* multiple user roles
* extensible blog entry form... need to add custom fields and support application integration
* support a community size of about 1,000 bloggers (maybe more) and > 500,000 readers
* highly scalable... just add hardware
* and the other basic blogging functions
 
I am currently evaluating all options: open source, commercial, in-house, and hosted.  I am putting together a best-of-the-best list and plan on building a scorecard around this for presentation to upper management.

Can anyone recommend me possible blogging systems that meet the above requirements?

You might want to consider the open source CMS's Drupal or Joomla!.

You can try out lots of open source CMS's at opensourcecms.com. (The CMS's are all installed as a demo and you can access them with admin rights.)

You can compare the features of CMS's at cmsmatrix.org.

Thanks mouser. MovableType is a nice fit.

Arjen: I don't see how CMS like Drupal, Joomla can be of any relevance here.

Don't know about Joomla!, but Drupal offers blogging functionality. It might be "too much of a CMS'' to your taste. Also, I might have gotten carried away a bit too much towards the CMS side. :-)
