InfoGlue is an advanced, scalable and robust content management / Portal platform written in 100% Java. It is suitable for a wide range of applications and organisations. Typical uses include public websites, portal solutions, intranets and extranets. The platform is released under the GPL-license and it can be run on almost any platform, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and most Linux distributions, and it is compatible with most major databases such as MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle and DB2.

Key features includes JSR-168 support (portlets), full multi-language support, unlimited number of sites in one installation, excellent information reuse withing a site and between sites and extensive integration capabilities. A dynamic visual page builder ensures that page can be built by non technicians and the platform also supports advanced workflows as well as very detailed access control both internally and externally.

We have dedicated ourselves to make InfoGlue the fast, reliable and cost effective way to manage and publish your organisations information on the web. It is not only userfriendly and packed with great functionality but also easy to maintain which is an important factor when it comes to total cost of ownership.

This site and the InfoGlue community is maintained by the community itself and it is totally independent from all companies and organisations. The community has only one priority and that is to offer a strong Open Source alternative on the CMS market. Many consultant firms have already started working with the platform and we will allow them to advertise their offers & services on this site as we feel they contribute to making InfoGlue a good choice for customers.

The InfoGlue platform is distributed under the GNU Public General License and is developed as a independent Open Source project by individuals from all over the world. In this part of the site we will present more information about the platform and it's features.

The InfoGlue project started in August 2002 and was officially released in it's first version in April 2003. It has fast become one of the leading Open Source CMS alternatives available. This is partly because of the high activity in the project but also because of the strong technical architecture and the possibility for seperation of concern in projects. Below is a sketch of the platforms parts and some aspects of how projects relate to it.

As you can see from the graphics the idea is to give the developers / users as much infrastructure as possible to speed up the implementation process in their project. The most important part of the project is as allways the initial analysis and taking a decision on what to implement. The implementation time is allways decided by how good the analysis was.

After you have downloaded the package you should follow the installation instructions found in the zipfile or the one found here.

In addition you can find nightly builds here. We strongly recommend you not to use these versions in production. Often they may not work at all depending on the state of development. Using them is at your own risk as usual.

For information about how to get the source and build InfoGlue look at our CVS-page

For documentation of the platform look at the document section under products here.

OpenCms is a professional level Open Source Website Content Management System. OpenCms helps to create and manage complex websites easily without knowledge of html. An integrated WYSIWYG editor with a user interface similar to well known office applications helps the user creating the contents, while a sophisticated template engine enforces a site-wide corporate layout. As true Open Source software, OpenCms is completely free of licensing costs.

OpenCms is based on Java and XML technology. Therefore it fits perfectly into almost any existing modern IT infrastructure. OpenCms runs in a "full open source" environment (e.g. Linux, Apache, Tomcat, MySQL) as well as on commercial components (e.g. Windows NT, IIS, BEA Weblogic, Oracle DB).

To learn more about OpenCms, take a look at the Guided Tour available in the Support section. To participate in the OpenCms project, check out the Development section. To download OpenCms, use the links on the right side of this page or check out the Download section.
