Accurate eZpublish specs on cmsmatrix.org?

www.cmsmatrix.org

I find the system on that website for reporting specs and comparing CMSs to be very useful, but I'm concerned about the accuracy.

Can the eZ crew validate the accuracy of the specs listed there or confirm that they are the ones responsible for the current specs?

Unfortunately, I see that two entries for eZpublish exist, one with less functionality in some areas. The recent one was updated to describe v. 3.5

Please check this out. It was the main tool that brought me to consider eZpublish and my assessment rests on its accuracy.

Others may be basing their decisions on this tool as well.

I had a quick look at cmsmatrix.com. It's looks correct, some points are "limited". E.g. kerberos authentication. We have a plugin system so you can easily add this, but you need to do some programming.

I'm not sure about the definition of the different points, so I cannot say that it is totally correct. Mabye some other users in the community have some comments to this one?

Lemme see:
>Public Mailing List Limited
Not sure if you can say that. Many would say not at all

> WYSIWYG Editor Costs Extra

Not entirely true. XMLarea is free but not officially supported by ez (altho personally I consider it to be much better aside of a few known bugs).

> Content Staging Limited

Depends. You can display content in other section and move it to live section?
So yeah, maybe limited is right.

> Groupware Yes

I'd say limited. Groupware is something along the lines of egroupware.org in my book.

> Guest Book Free Add On

Integrated. Basically, you acn use an article with comments for that... Or any other way of creating content ;-)

> Project Tracking Free Add On
> Quizzes TestFree Add On

Uhh where can I get those? Aside of that, it seems pretty accurate.

Thanks for the information! I understand that it is not really eZ system's responsibility to monitor every cms comparison website out there, so I appreciate that you took the time to look into it. It is not fair to place an expectation on you. I just meant to make you aware of the information about your product on that site.

And, again, I think it's one of the more useful websites and that it will help you draw in customers and users. (I refer to the spec tables. Their ranking system seems unreliable and is subject to wild swings up and down.)

I'll note that if you place the mouse over a spec it will pop up a description of their definition for the spec.
