Alfresco Community Edition did its open source developers proud this year by becoming the first enterprise content management system to boast CMIS 1.0 compliance. (OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services provides a vendor-neutral Web services interface for sharing data with the likes of Outlook and Drupal, for example.) Strong on both document management and Web publishing, Alfresco's recent 3.3 release adds a rules library for content automation and more dynamic query options. Another major milestone is the addition of the Web Editor Framework, a client-side, JavaScript-driven interface that allows users to make content updates directly on the Web page. No excuses, no training required. Additionally, there is new support for IBM Lotus Notes and Google Docs -- not to mention that our BPM winner, Intalio, offers a connector for digesting Alfresco assets.
