Should Open Source Content Management Interoperate?

bergie writes "Advogato is running a thought-provoking article on whether open source content management systems should interoperate. This is a big question involving social issues inside the projects, but also promising huge benefits to developers deploying open source CMSs and to desktop projects like Mozilla, OpenOffice and Xopus wishing to connect with a collaborative backend. This discussion will also be a major topic on the upcoming OSCOM conference."

(BSD's 4.2 TCP stack is in both windows 2000 and WinXP). Please correct me if I am wrong.


That is a fallicy. The truth is that the original version of WinNT contained a third party TCP stack; it turned out the people they bought it from stole it from BSD. The stack was then re-written.

The credit to the regents of the Univ. of Calif. in the Windows readme file is for the simple tcp/ip unix utilities (ftp, telnet, finger, etc) which are bsd code to ensure compatibility and similarity for unix folks when using the commandline on a windows box.

Re:Interoperation would be...hard

WebDAV really has nothing to do with the "Web" except that it uses the HTTP protocol. I would not consider that a "web-based" solution. In other words... WebDAV has nothing to do with a browser and everything to do with HTTP.
