The document summarizes a proposal to refresh the RochISSA.org website by implementing a content management system (CMS) to more efficiently manage and update content. It evaluates several open source CMS options before recommending Mambo/Joomla due to its large community and ease of use, though it notes potential security issues that require quick patching. It concludes that a CMS is just a tool and that interesting, valuable content and group involvement are needed to attract members.

- 1. RochISSA.org Web Site Design Refresh By Robert Combo, CISSP, SCSA EDS@Xerox, Network Security Services [email_address]
- 2. Current Issues 100% all static HTML - Inefficient to maintain Time consuming for updates Meager content; “boring”
- 3. Objectives Updated content Add RochISSA.Org documentation such as by-laws, meeting minutes, presentations, “The Top 10 Reasons to Join RochISSA.Org”, etc Links to relevant sites such as ISSA National, SANS Internet Storm Center, security tools and education, etc, etc Local relevant job postings Possible additional features Calendar of Events, newsletters, RSS news feeds, blog, sponsored links, surveys, moderated forums, security tip of the week??, other? Consider Updated Site Theme
- 4. Site Theme (cont) Build upon current theme? – Beige/Tan Copy ISSA national theme for continuity? Such as the route of the NYC ISSA chapter
- 5. Solution: CMS Content Management System WCM – Web Content Management A system used to facilitate publication of content to the web easily and quickly Allow multiple content authors to publish directly to the web without knowing coding techniques Many use the idea of a “Workflow”, AKA content authors submit to an approver Version control/Rollback functionality Templates and object reusability
- 6. CMS Product Varieties Over 1700 CMS products, both commercial and open source available Ranges from very simple, to “Enterprise level complexities” for deployment Various foundations: PHP, Perl, JAVA, and others
- 7. CMS Products Evaluated Magnolia – JAVA, LGPL, supposed ease of use - is used by www.OWASP.org site. JSR-170 supported OpenCMS.org – Java/XML based, GPL, complex, recent updates - looks to be designed with large CMS deployments in mind. Lenya – Apache foundation - Java based, GPL, recent updates, complex. Not all functions available in GUI, some CLI required Cofax.org - Java based, GPL, simple, but not recently updated Nukes – Java based, GPL, looks quick/easy, but requires JBoss (GPL) app server Mambo/Joomla – PHP, GPL, ease of use, possible security issues but apparent quick patching cycles, limited versioning, not search engine friendly URL's, but large development community Typo3 – PHP, GPL, complex, possible security issues Moveable Type – commercial, but free for non-profit. Perl, Apache, limited functionality
- 8. Final Candidates Magnolia Good: JAVA, can be launched in any J2EE container, extensible with any Java API Browser based admin and content editing JSR-170 compliant Role based user management Bad: Lack of real development community Mambo/Joomla Good: Large development community, lots of plug-ins and templates available Scored 10/10/10 for ease of use, admin interface, and flexibility on cmsmatrix.org Bad: Possible security issues but apparent quick patching cycles, limited version control, not search engine friendly URL's
- 9. CMS - The Final Answer? NO! A Content Management System is just a tool To attract existing and potential new members to the site, there should be interesting and updated content Web site should infuse a concrete value add of membership to visitors - first impression Group involvement! – Looking for article contributors, graphic design ideas/assistance, and possibly bloggers Email us your site ideas: webadmin@rochissa.org
