More about CM Pros

CM Pros is a US-based membership organization formed in 2004 that fosters the sharing of content management information, practices, and strategies, seeking to improve content management practices within all organizations. In September 2005, twenty-eight Australian Content Management professionals formed the Australian chapter of this organisation – the CM Pros Australia Community.

This group provides a much-needed forum for discussion on web content management issues. All are welcome, including writers, editors, designers, web managers, integrators, deployment specialists, consultants, distributors, customers and vendors (both open-source and proprietary). The forum is for networking, shared discussion and mutual learning. (From komodocms.com/community, June 8, 2006)
