EPiServer, Umbraco, and Omeka added to CMS Report's CMS Focus
This week we added three Web applications to our CMS Focus top 30 list. The CMSs and ECMs listed in CMS Focus are not necessarily the most popular in content management and are not meant to meet everyone's requirements for a CMS. Instead the content management systems that make up this top 30 are what I consider content management "game changers" or "attention getters". New to CMS Focus are the following CMS/ECM: EPiServer, Umbraco, and an unknown CMS called Omeka.
My thanks to all those that made their suggestions to me via Twitter. Besides the three CMS that made the top 30 list, we had enough tweets to call our attention to Enano, Coremedia, Alterian, OpenCMS, SDL Tridion, Jahia, and Nuxeo. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these additional CMSs making their way onto CMS Focus in the near future.
In order to make room the new entries, we dropped three Web applications out of CMS Focus and into our "Hall of Fame". These applications were Gallery (2006-2010), Frog CMS (2009-2010), and SMF (2006 - 2009). All three applications are fine pieces of softweare for what they are designed to do and are still be worth a look. However, our focus continues to shift to more complete information systems and retirement to the hall of fame were long overdue for these applications.

#1 Omeka and GMU
Interesting...
GMU, the home of the Omeka project is my alma mater. The campus is about 10 miles down the road from my place.
Until Omeka, their biggest claim to fame was their 2005-2006 men's basketball team, which made it to the NCAA Tournament Final Four, where they lost to the eventual winner (University of Florida). ;-)

Harry, if I had known that GMU was your alma mater I would have chosen Omeka a lot sooner. ;-) Actually, I added Omeka due to the suggestion of Amy S. If she likes anything outside of Joomla!, you know it has to be good.
By the way, GMU has a nice Web portal to their campus. I can't tell if they're using a CMS or just static pages to get the job done. Either way, it's a nice site.
