Abstract

An organization without a reference on the Internet is difficult to imagine nowadays. Most organizations use their Web site for communication with collaborators, advertising, news publication, events, etc. In all these portals, there is a recurrent problem concerning the efficient management of all Web content. Indeed, this problem can take much time and effort from people involved in such process. To provide an easy and fast management of Web portals, a number of Content Management Systems (CMS) has been developed in the last few years. A CMS is basically a Web application which allows non-technical users to add, to edit and to manage content in a Web site. Plone is an example of opensource CMS designed to be flexible and easy to use and install. This work analyzes Plone as a future replacement for the currentWeb site of Informática UFSM. It also presents the process of developing applications for Plone, using examples based on real situations in the institution.
