There are many new features in this release, but the largest is an all
new
discussion system. It has most of the features you'll find in any
modern board
such as phpBB and FUD Forum. In addition, it's fully templatable, and
fully
integrated with WebGUI. In addition, we've added a delete option to
the Data
Form, sorting options to the USS, master calendar option to the Events
Calendar,
and table editing to the Rich Text Editor.

WebGUI is a content management framework built to
allow average business users to build and maintain
complex Web sites. It is modular, pluggable, and
platform independent. It was designed to allow the
people who create the content to manage it online,
rather than content management taking up the time
of busy IT staff. WebGUI comes with a full
discussion forum with the functionality of phpBB
or FUD Forum, plus events calendaring, a photo
gallery, a Web log (blog), FAQ and Link List
management, and a very configurable user privilege
and profiling system.
Changes:
The 6.5 series is now the recommended production release. This release
contains about a dozen small bugfixes.

DonorWare Chooses WebGUI Over AxKit
DonorWare Chooses WebGUI Over AxKit
01/22/2004 02:11 AM
Submission by Mike Shroeder
DonorWare develops fundraising software for non-profit agencies.
Guiding DonorWare's software development are five principles used in
selecting what frameworks, technologies, and programming languages
DonorWare adopts. For an application framework that elegantly handles
content management, DonorWare selected WebGUI from PlainBlack.
According to Mike Schroeder, CEO of DonorWare, WebGUI was easy to
install, and use. He notes that, "In fifteen minutes we had a summer
intern productive with WebGUI. She was able to migrate 600 pages of
content from a previous website in less than two weeks."
Faith-based organizations such as the Mission Aviation Fellowship
(MAF), Christian Blind Mission, and Promise Keepers turn to DonorWare
for CRM-like "Constituent management" software. DonorWare's package
targets charitable organizations with anywhere from fifty thousand to
several million donors. Organizations can run DonorWare in-house, or
access it, ASP-like, via the web, on servers in DonorWare's
state-of-the art data center.
Charities today need high-power enterprise solutions to handle needs
as diverse as credit card processing, event registration, as well as
tracking donors. According to Schroeder, "A lot of nonprofits now have
catalogs and offer products, so we're dealing with ecommerce websites,
direct mail, product catalogs, inventory control, state taxes, all of
that."
DonorWare has developed a soup-to-nuts application. Their four-tier
architecture includes an underlying database, business logic,
applications, and presentation engines. DonorWare's robust business
logic has over three decades of history - long before the web became
popular -- so the addition of a presentation layer that could
interface with existing business logic, and effectively deliver
content to the web was important.
WebGUI will be driving future generations of DonorWare's WebWare and
ContentWare packages, providing flexible, user-friendly solutions for
web-based content. Personalization features coming in future versions
of WebGUI will make future versions even more powerful. Expected uses
of personalization include displaying regional content based on the
donor's address, or reports on how a donor's previous gift was used.
This type of personalization closes the loop for true one to one
relationship building.
DonorWare's five guiding principles on selecting technology are:
Adapt to a high rate of change - change is expected, so choose
technology that is extensible and open.
Ubiquitous Deployment - whenever possible, choose common, everyday
technology over custom technology. It is easier to maintain and
support.
Leverage a value chain - few companies are large enough to drive
their own value chain, so choose a value chain that works to your
advantage. For DonorWare, that value chain is the Open Source
movement.
Appropriate Pricing - choose technology that clients can afford to
deploy.
Preserve What Is Good - when choosing new technology, it is tempting
to start from scratch, but you often "throw out the baby with the bath
water". Look for ways to preserve your existing investment.
These value statements ensure that DonorWare's offerings meet the
needs of its customers. It also prevents DonorWare from heading down
technology "dead ends", ensuring affordability, and so forth.
According to Mike Schroeder, CEO/CTO of DonorWare, "Our adoption of
these value statements, combined with a bit of good fortune, have
allowed us to continue meeting customer needs and avoid making
expensive technology mistakes."
He continues, "Because we serve charities and nonprofits we decided to
leverage open source as a value chain. Before we went that direction,
we evaluated products like Oracle. We could have easily created a
solution using Oracle, but it would have been a solution none of our
clients could afford to use."
Pursuing open source solutions led DonorWare to replace it's UNIFY
database with MySQL. DonorWare selected MySQL based on its speed,
support, user base, and rate of ongoing development. The same
principles narrowed the field of CMS's and Web Application Frameworks
down to two; Axkit, and WebGUI.
WebGUI met DonorWare's criteria of being extensible, usable out of the
box, and compatible with open standards like SOAP. Extensibility
allowed DonorWare to create it's own SOAP wobject for WebGUI, allowing
WebGUI to seamlessly connect to almost a million lines of existing
business logic. Says Schroeder, "We could add onto WebGUI and extend
it and make it fit with what we were already doing. We're very
comfortable with Perl."
WebGUI handles all the mundane tasks for which Application Servers are
usually enlisted, things like interface templating, session
management, and security.
"We've noticed that close to 90% of the customization we do for
clients is related to look and feel, not business logic", says
Schroeder. "So WebGUI's template-based approach to interface creation
allows us to re-use the same business logic for multiple clients,
while allowing client's to edit their own HTML templates with a
minimal knowledge of our business logic."
According to Schroeder, "We look to WebGUI for two things. One is to
provide CMS for clients that wanted to maintain their websites inside
a CMS, the other was an ability to extend the CMS to integrate with
the other processing that we do. It fits very well in our
architecture"
In terms of customization, PlainBlack has done a few enhancements for
DonorWare. According to Schroeder, "They've been really good to deal
with, in terms of getting the specs back and forth and reasonable
pricing."
WebGUI has proven to be an excellent solution for DonorWare, according
to Schroeder, who notes "We had an incredibly good out-of-the-box
experience with WebGUI. It meets our needs. Well."
WebGUI works wonders for church Web site
WebGUI works wonders for church Web site
06/22/2005 02:10 AMIn 2002, Portland, Ore.'s Sunset Presbyterian Church had a 200+-page
Web site that contained mainly static content about the church, its
ministries, and events. While many people were using the Web site and
submitting content for it, the all-volunteer team maintaining it, of
which I was a member, was overworked. Half of our time was spent
editing existing pages and removing old content. Everything was done
by hand: creating pages, uploading them to the site via FTP, and
checking them against the site's style guidelines. All new volunteers
required lots of training to become fully contributing members. Our
team needed to find a way to become more efficient.
