That's official ! The new Zope3 / ECM project is launched !
See the annoucement on the project portal.
The main goal of this project is to build the next-generation Open Source ECM Platform on top of Zope 3 able to compete with the major ECM solutions on the market such as Documentum, OpenText, etc.
What is Z3Lab ?
Z3Lab aims at building a strong community leveraging the experiences of both individuals and companies that are involved in the Zope ECM/ CMS market nowadays to create the best ECM platform on the market and offer high-value professional services to customers.
ECM Platform
The project's main goals are :
- to unify the whole Zope/CMS-involved community to drastically reduce waste of resources (doing twice or more equivalent components / features).
- to spread Zope 3 technology on the market by providing a world class ECM Platform with companies providing consulting worldwide and backing the project.
The project's goals are really ambitious but considerint the amount of excellent Zope hackers all around the world it is more than an acceptable mission :)
The project's just starting and the first iteration will be to write specifications and to come up with the architecture of the framework. If you are interested in ECM architecture join the mailing list !
Couple of documents are already published on the portal such as a concept map and an overview of the ECM Plateform.
Hope to see you all on the mailing list soon :)
