“Campsite 2.3 is the most advanced open-source system for news publishing on the web,” said CAMP Managing Director Sava Tatić. “Our development team has worked for the last three months to implement feature requests from the international community of Campsite users, and 2.3 really addresses those requests.”
CAMPSITE is based on Unicode and allows journalists to input their articles in any language and any character set (including Cyrillic, Arabic, and Hebrew). CAMPSITE includes features found only in high-end content management systems, such as:
– Unprecedented ease of use for reporters, editors and technical staff
– Highly customizable user interface according to user rights (user sees only what s/he needs to see)
– Built-in three-stage workflow
– Support for PHP scripts
– Built-in subscription module that also allows IP-based subscriptions
Campsite 2.3’s new feature highlights include:
– WYSIWYG text editor Xinha, which allows users to copy and paste directly from Microsoft Word documents
– Enhanced user management – separation of staff & subscribers, ability to search users, redesigned interface, categorized user-rights list
– New and improved localization – redesigned interface and the ability to translate from any language to any other language
– Online help with user comments
– Redesigned sample web site for designers to work with while learning how to use Campsite
