Dear all , Sorry that just now I'm able to reply post a message. @Anne : I agree with you. A single download delivers a robust system ready to be used out-of-the-box. @Gaetano : Thanks for the suggestion. Haven't tried it yet, but definitely will test it later on. @Xavier : Thanks for the info.
All of your comment really encouraged & helped me in preparing my presentation to my IS Director about 2 weeks ago.
And then my boss asked me to prepare a demo to be presented to the executive team.
So in just 1 week, we had to come up with a demo site using eZ Publish.
Before that I experimented about 1 month with the eZ Publish system.
(Someone said in another forum, that the learning curve is quite vertical - I tend to agree)
And for a short while I also tested Drupal.
Drupal is quite an impressive software and has a very active community.
But then we chose eZ Publish because it has 2 features that we need the most:
1. The ability to use different design for each siteaccess in a manageable way.
This is important, because each of the regional office need to have different design & looks.
And they can have options to select the template they want to use for each region site.
Before eZ Publish, we really had a headache how to solve this issue.
2. Website Interface extension.
This front-end editing capability amazed the executive team.
This extension made it very easy for the user to edit the content on the website.
As for the speed perfomance, installing PHP accelerator really helps.
(We have tested eZ Publish 4.0 and it's even faster! :-) )
Now we have about 3 months time to prepare for the beta version (March 2008).
Have so much to do and learn :-)
I'm thinking to write what I & my team have learnt during developing the demo site using eZ Publish.
To share knowledge (including mistakes) and also discuss some issues. Thank you.
