Open Source Book coverHi! You've found a page that was previously published on OpenSourceSmall.biz, a web site associated with the book John wrote called Open Source Solutions for Small Business Problems. This book is available for purchase at Amazon (affiliate link), but we've rolled all the web site content into John's business site.

A premier open source portal: Metadot

Submitted by John Locke on Mon, 05/23/2005 - 07:30

Joining the ranks of Sharepoint Portal Server, Plone, Mambo, PostNuke, and hundreds of other portal systems, is the open source Metadot Portal Server. It's been around for a few years, but I just ran across it thanks to an interview with its creator on a podcast I was just listening to.

Looks like a great option for larger businesses and organizations needing something with built-in document versioning along with all the other available features.

Customer Feedback

If you are a user of business software and are interested in finding out more about open source options for your business or office, you may be a little bit frustrated about the lack of introductory-level information on this topic...

The best single source of such information that I have found so far is John Locke's "Open Source Solutions for Small Business Problems." It provides an excellent introduction to the concepts, advantages, and disadvantages behind open-source.
