News Management

[Raf]

Hello everyone,

Im currently developing a news management script and I was wondering if I can get some suggestions from you guys on things you would look for in an Open Source News Management script under the GPL License? Post some suggestions here. I might also credit you later if I decide to use the idea. :tu:

1. vBulletin (and other forum software) integration for the comments system.

2. Easy, and totally flexible templating system

3. Pagination (ability to efficiently divide long articles/texts into differnet pages).

4. Timed publishing (as in, the ability to automatically publish an article or text/content sometime in the future yet; ANTE-dating)

All the rest are standard stuff for any CMS, but the above seem to be lacking always.

Good luck.

Nicholas


P.S. A few years back I wrote an article-processing system in Perl (it hasn't been updated and is very obsolete now, of course), but the features may interest you:

You can read the features here. Good luck!

Well I was talking more of a news management script and not a CMS.

I'd like to see a workable pinging module and trackbacks...
