Some updates on the nomination front for the CMS chapter. @sirjonathan and myself are interested in contributing to the chapter again this year as reviewers. Potential nominees for authors are not available to contribute this year, so there is a need for an author or co-authors. |
|
Thank you @ernee! I've added you both to the reviewers list. We'll continue to look for a lead author. |
|
I’m interested as a potential lead author. I’d need to evaluate it a bit
more closely to see if I can make the commitment.
When is the deadline?
Also, if you find a strong lead you’re happy with don’t hesitate to move
forward.

@sirjonathan we're hoping to have the content team nailed down by the end of the week. Alternatively, feel free to @ anyone else in the CMS space that you think might be good candidates to author this chapter. |

OK, perfect. I'm asking around, I have a few ideas.
And once you've got the authors lined up, what's the actual publishing
timeline?

Thanks! The milestones in the top comment and the chapter lifecycle doc give a good overview of the timeline. |
|
I just connected with Alex Denning and he's interested! I'll send him to this thread to read up and follow-up accordingly. |
|
Hi! @sirjonathan pinged me about this, and I'm keen to be involved! I had a read through the docs and looks good. For a bit of context this is me: https://twitter.com/AlexDenning |
|
@alexdenning thank you for agreeing to be the lead author for the CMS chapter! As the lead, you'll be responsible for driving the content planning and writing phases in collaboration with your content team, which will consist of yourself as lead, any coauthors you choose as needed, peer reviewers, and data analysts. The immediate next steps for this chapter are:
There's a ton of info in the top comment, so check that out and feel free to ping myself or @rviscomi with any questions! @sirjonathan @ernee I've put you down as reviewers for now, and will leave it to @alexdenning to reassign at their discretion |
|
@OBTo many thanks! I'm at capacity this week, so I'll dig into this properly next week and start making some progress then. |
|
Hey @alexdenning, hope you had a great weekend :) As you know, we're tying to have the outline and metrics settled on by the end of the week so we have time to configure the Web Crawler to track everything you need. So is there anything you need from me to keep things moving forward? Also, can you remind your team to properly add and credit themselves in your chapter's Google Doc? |
|
Heya @OBTo cheers – I will review properly later today and get back to you :) |
|
okey, following up on this. A couple of things I need to double check and confirm:
Thanks :) |
Yup!
Yes. And please feel free to recruit others you'd like to work together with on this chapter
Let me point you to a great answer @bazzadp wrote on this #899 (comment)
For this chapter it would be you as the Content team lead. We've highlighted the key deadlines in the first comment above, but leave the organization and selection of those you'd like to work with up to you. Right now the next task for this chapter is to have a outline and list of proposed metrics by the end of the week so we have time to set up the Web Crawler :) |
Totally understand. Here are the metrics that were used in last year's chapter. Hopefully looking at these will give you some ideas and show you what kind of queries are possible: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FDYe6QdoY3UtXodE2estTdwMsTG-hHNrOe9wEYLlwAw/edit#gid=0 In general though, feel free to go wild with what metrics you'd like to measure. Your analyst can then look through the list of metrics with you and let you know what might not be possible. Also regarding this chapter's analyst, we're still actively recruiting more analysts and will keep you posted! |

I've requested access to the Document.

- @OBTo <https://github.com/obto> are you the person whom I can ask
these questions?
- "Team" is @sirjonathan <https://github.com/sirjonathan> @ernee
<https://github.com/ernee> yes? If yes, could you both of you add your
details here?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XL87z5MOk7QDLhpFsaMWT3DaIXdOQV32qs57noGwDVQ/edit
- Are we expecting to use this issue for all our comms?
- To what extent is this chapter going to be an update on last year vs
new takes? I understand you're to some extent looking to me to define that;
would be good to get more of an idea of what's *possible*.
- Who's "owning" project management?
Thanks :)

Granted! 🔑 @alexdenning I can fill in as the data analyst for this chapter until a more permanent contributor steps up |
|
Many thanks @sirjonathan! Will review those tomorrow. @rviscomi shared some extra data which answers the mobile question; will add that, review all the comments, and add an extra section on WP plugin usage before EOW :) |
|
Hi all, many thanks for the feedback. Been through and addressed all the comments I can. Mainly need @rviscomi to clarify a couple of technical details for me, and then this should be ready soon after :) |
|
@alexdenning in case you missed it, we've adjusted the milestones to push the launch date back from November 9 to December 9. This gives all chapters exactly 7 weeks from now to wrap up the analysis, write a draft, get it reviewed, and submit it for publication. So the next milestone will be to complete the first draft by November 12. However if you're still on schedule to be done by the original November 9 launch date we want you to know that this change doesn't mean your hard work was wasted, and that you'll get the privilege of being part of our "Early Access" launch. Please see the link above for more info and reach out to @rviscomi or me if you have any questions or concerns about the timeline. We hope this change gives you a bit more breathing room to finish the chapter comfortably and we're excited to see it go live! |
|
@OBTo I did miss that, thanks for highlighting! I think this is nearly done. I just have one chart which needs sorting (Rick is helping), and then we're good to go. |
|
@alexdenning the page weight distribution results still seem like they need to be updated. I commented in the doc. |
|
@rviscomi cheers – just need some help finishing it up if that's alright. Replied to you on the doc. |
|
All comments are resolved, I think we're good to go! |
|
Ok great! @alexdenning can you review the chapter metadata at the top of this thread to ensure that the milestone checklist is up to date and everyone who meaningfully contributed is appropriately credited? Once those are done we can move on to the final milestone, which is for you to submit your final draft as a PR. And when that's merged we can get this chapter out in the early access release! 🎉 |
|
@rviscomi as I understand that's all correct, yup! I might need you to help me do the PR – not totally sure what I'm doing 😅 |
|
Hey @alexdenning if you open a draft PR with the See here for some good guidance I gave to the Markup team: #899 (comment) The Capabilities PR has already started theirs if you want an example - though still a work in progress and they've included the SQL queries in their PR as they weren't submitted previously but you're queries have already been merged by @rviscomi so only need the markdown file and the figure images. Any questions give us a shout either here or on Slack! |

## Introduction
The term Content Management System (CMS) refers to systems enabling individuals and organizations to create, manage, and publish content. A CMS for web content, specifically, is a system aimed at creating, managing, and publishing content to be consumed and experienced via the internet.
Each CMS implements some subset of a wide range of content management capabilities and the corresponding mechanisms for users to build websites easily and effectively around their content. Content is often stored in a type of database, providing users with the flexibility to reuse it wherever needed for their content strategy. CMSs also provide admin capabilities aimed at making it easy for users to upload and manage content as needed.

Cheers – so do I need to create a markdown version of the Google Doc? Is there a convenient way of doing that? What about image hosting? And is the content/2020 folder a folder I need to create? Cheers :) |
Yes you need to convert to markdown and yes to the For images, please see our Figures Guide. Basically, you'll need to include the images @rviscomi has provided in your doc as part of the PR, saving them to {{ figure_markup(
image="direction-popularity.png",
caption="Popularity of direction values.",
description="Bar chart showing the popularity of direction values ltr and rtl. ltr is used by 32% of desktop pages and 40% of mobile pages. rtl is used by 32% of desktop pages and 36% of mobile pages.",

}}Try to give nice descriptions for SEO and Accessibility reasons if you can. This function will automatically display the images correctly and give them a unique figure id when the site is built and served.

@alexdenning Any update on this? Would love to get this chapter published :) |
|
@OBTo oh whoops, my apologies. Managed to completely lose this on my task list! I'm not super-familiar with markdown, but I can try and do this by Friday for you :) |
|
@OBTo I've got as far as converting the text to markdown, but I need to carve out a solid hour next week to get my head around the images. I don't know how to do a PR, though, so I'll have to post it all here and ask someone else to take it forward 🙏 |
|
@alexdenning i can help out here if you want. Should be able to knock it up pretty quickly over the weekend. Send on what you’ve got to Barry at tunetheweb.com. |
|
@bazzadp that'd be much appreciated! Will email the MD file over. |
|
No problem @alexdenning . Need a few things from you while I work on this:
Don't need them all so can go with just the two we have if ok.
I can pick this from the chapter, but better to come from you if you can. |
