Just as Firefox users were upgrading to version 3 last week, many people started to miss their iWeb-created galleries as they just disappeared. Well, one iWeb user has been doing extra work to repair Apple’s? (erm… Mozilla’s?) problem. Joshua Ochs has posted an in-depth article on his site describing exactly what’s going on — he also provides a fix in the form of a script to patch iWeb.
Joshua says that the problem is neither with Apple nor Mozilla, but with a JavaScript library called “Prototype” which is used by iWeb. Right now there are two ways to mend the problem (neither of which are supported by Apple): you can use the information on Apple’s Discussion Board, or you can download Joshua’s script — both seem to work and are free.

As a result, information and knowledge management professionals increasingly show an interest in open source WCM as a way of controlling software costs and increasing their access to product-specific expertise in the marketplace.
That’s great: Enterprises should move to open-source web content management offerings. But which ones?
Out of the wide pool of open-source web content management projects (There are, quite literally, hundreds), Forrester says there are two to which CIOs and CTOs need to pay particular attention:
Alfresco and Drupal (Acquia).
In answer to the question, “Why these two?” Forrester answers: Relevance. As Powers writes:

260 employees and several years later, Microsoft still can’t manage to document its software to comply with a United Says Department of Justice order, as detailed in a progress (?) report but more comprehensively covered on Groklaw. Groklaw writes:
It appears from that record that no matter what Microsoft tries or how diligently they work at it or how many employees they assign to this noble task of providing interoperability documentation, it just can’t be done. Microsoft is like Sisyphus of old, working every day with all its might to get that boulder to the top of the hill, only to see it fall back down again, throughout eternity. Of course, you might point out that his troubles are a myth. Microsoft’s are real. You think?…
