After a few weeks of design I am getting back into the content management challenge as a real, solvable problem. A good article at Transform talks about why it is hard to marry document management and "content" management. Writes Julie Gable: "the procedural infrastructure is often the hardest part of implementation in the internal content realm, not the technology." I have a list of about 40 CMS vendors and /or products, and most use XML in the database with little thought given to what to do with legacy documents.
