Good interview with Bob Boiko, author of Content Management Bible. Worth reading especially is Boiko's discussion of "context management" - "I've often heard that a content management system destroys context, as its sole purpose is to create neutral information that is free of context. My response to that is—No. If you do that you are going to fail.... A content management system is doing as much to manage context as it is doing to manage content. It allows you codify and insert context parameters to the content so as to re-create the context for the publications it serves. Thus a content management system is not only managing a set of content chunks but it is also managing context."
