Internal blog and wiki survey

Gilbane Enterprise Blog Survey.

The Gilbane Report recently posted the results of their Survey on Enterprise blog, wiki, and RSS Use. While the survey sample is not representative of a larger population of companies (the survey was voluntary and Gilbane readers are probably ahead of the curve), the results are interesting.

You will find few comparative analyses, and this article is no exception. The author does point out that PHP-Nuke (like all the other Nukes, we wish he’d add) is more than a CMS and really represents a website-in-a-box application potentially well-suited for certain collaborative Intranet environments. The review also helpfully advises caution in examining the provenance of optional add-ons. But what about documentation? “It is likely that a documentation project will be launched in the future”…… [CMSWatch Trends and Features]
