Scoop: A Glimpse Into the NYTimes CMS
The CMS is in a renaissance period with Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal and the like falling out of favor.<p>I believe the CMS is bifurcating into two specialized directions.<p>Several online publishers are coming out and describing their new, home-grown custom CMS. The features are rich and provide robust, innovative tools across the long-form content lifecycle: writing, editing, and publication. There is special attention to collaboration.<p>On the other hand, more and more website developers align themselves with the goals and properties of static site generators. SSGs are best suited what I call "malleable" websites.<p>Thus, I think the way to think about this CMS renaissance is that traditional the CMS tried (and failed) to optimize for both long-form content and the malleable website. As a result, people are sick of trying to patch the traditional CMS with plugin after plugin and instead are simply crafting their own.
