A recent IBM Systems Journal surveyed open-source Web CMS tool, MMBase (pdf). The history of MMBase is strikingly similar to other open-source projects: a CMS application gets developed by major media firm; source opened up for broader support; mostly regional base of supporters catches on; community struggles to get to the next level. It's a good story well told, and an important one to understand if you're going to consider any open-source business tool. Thanks to Martin White for the pointer.

"I've been using the The Web CMS Research and I have to say that the quality of the analysis is flawless. How your team not only gets beneath the surface of CMS products but also highlights the good, bad, and ugly in very readable research is nothing short of miraculous."
