Having problems with message search?
Hi Nick,
As a former employee of Documentum (and the interaction designer for their Web Publishing system), I both agree and disagree with what you are saying.
1. I first started this community b/c I felt like there weren't enough people to deal w/ this issue.
2. I have personally dealt w/ customers who forced DCTM to push the envelpe of their content intelligence services and other web publishing features because they were thinking about: taxonomy management, faceted navigation and search, search in general, and other IA issues. I can't say which customers they are, but they tended to be customers who either were always progressively oriented toward technology, or were new industries (under 10-15 years old that have burgeoned) such as technology companies (of specific types).
I think if you are on the "custome" side of CMS doing the implementations then it is up to you to make a stand here for your own sake.
there have been major successes from similar types.
the other approach is to join the Zope or other open source community and bring the issues you want explored to that community who is probably very open to listening.

I totally agree... but I have to say, I've joined just about every Yahoo group that has anything
to do with CMS, and there is almost no discussion like this. There is no community, as is stated
here. The only posts I see are for product issues, and recruiting. (This is the first post I've
seen to this group since I signed up)
What I believe tends to happen is that only professors and paid pontificators have the time to sit
around and think of the theories behind CMS. Those that are involved in implementing a CMS don't
have time (or have not been budgeted any time) for thinking about the best way to implement. It's
all about "pick the product and install it". As is the case for just about all technology
projects, it's "act fast and keep costs low... we don't have time for much 'analysis' or
'touchy-feeely' work". So there are no content audits, or process audits, or strategic audits.
No one has time/money/patience to do it "the right way"... and thus no one will contribute to any
discussion like this except for some professors and the few of us that care enough to chime in
after we get home from work :)
Too bad really... cause I'd love a deep discussion on the subject.
