Had quick look at this story today, could be interesting.
Qld govt develops open source record-keeping CMS.
A lack of a suitable record-keeping Web content management system has led one Queensland local government council to develop its own application which has since been released as an open source project.
Thuringowa City Council in mid-North Queensland was looking to deploy an enterprise content management system with the same capacity to keep records of Web content with the same integrity as other types of more regulated content like e-mail and financial documents.
The council's Web developer Scott Barnett then evaluated a number of open source ECMs and discovered the main constraint among them was a lack of support for record keeping. "We ended up saying it would be too difficult to modify an existing application as they couldn't publish binary files in a record keeping environment," Barnett said.
To solve the problem, Barnett, with support from his employer, began development of the Stronghold CMS with open source components to ensure records for Web documents were supported inside the application.
