There seems to be a proliferation of open source Content Management Systems. The following is a list of some that I’m aware of:

• modx (PHP)
• CMS Made Simple (PHP)
• Drupal (PHP)
• Joomla (PHP)
• Mambo (PHP)

In my research, I have discovered a plethora of open source CMS’s. Here is a more comprehensive list:

Open Source CMS

“A Content Management System (CMS) is a system used to manage the content of a Web site. Typically, a CMS consists of two elements: the content management application (CMA) and the content delivery application (CDA). The CMA element allows the content manager or author, who may not know Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to manage the creation, modification, and removal of content from a Web site without needing the expertise of a Webmaster. The CDA element uses and compiles that information to update the Web site. The features of a CMS system vary, but most include Web-based publishing, format management, revision control, and indexing, search, and retrieval.” “What is a Content Management System”

2. Websites needed a way to organize large volumes of regularly changing material.
