[Mediawiki-l] CMS or NOT? (was: Categories as search filters for aRefined/Advanced Search Tool)

[Michael Dorosh]

A letter opener isn't a swizzle stick, but if it works, why not...

I was going to quote wikipedia's definition of CMS also - check out the page on CMS... :-)

  According to Wikipedia, Mediawiki is a CMS:


  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:MediaWiki#CMS


  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system ):

  "A content management system (CMS) is a computer software system for 
  organizing and facilitating collaborative creation of documents and 
  other content. A content management system is frequently a web 
  application used for managing websites and web content,"



  Could anyone who feels with conviction that Mediawiki is NOT a CMS, 
  please explain.



  Thanks,
  Roger
