Vox Media may be leading the world in content management with its own Chorus platform
Tech Crunch has a write-up, dating back to May 2012,
of Chorus, a content management system which apparently has been developed by
Vox Media itself, with the location here. The tool seems to have a wealth of
automation features for managing comments (making them into posts when
appropriate), assigning and tracking work among bloggers, cross referencing by
many layers of subject matter specificity, and most of all simplifying the
entry and editing process. Apparently it
automates formatting hyperlinks correctly, and can even check images (and
perhaps videos and music, hopefully) for licensing to see if they can be used
directly.
There’s a lot to masticate and digest here.
Since my own work is spread among a few sites created at different eras
with different technologies, the cross referencing would be a godsend. So would the editing. I like to work offline first, but Word, when copied into any blogging panel, generates a lot of unnecessary XML code (line span commands) that creates bugs.
On the image issue, I’ll mention something
specific. It appears that images from
Google maps cannot be used legally. I
was going to submit an outdoor image of my own soon near some specific location
and see if I can direct that my image stay in the public domain, so others can
use it. It ought to be possible.
