About OpenWebCMS?
The OpenWebCMS? comes from a commercial product called 'YouAtNotes? CMS'. YouAtNotes? was the vendor of that CMS and decided to make it OpenSource? some time ago. Until today it was in german language only, but now it's available in international english, too.
Speaking of today the OpenWebCMS? is quite a complex but easy to use system. It has a front end Notes database for designing the site and adding content. And it has a sophisticated, Java based backend which does all the CMS stuff like creating automatic navigators, adding dynamic headers and footers to content and so on. You can read more about the architecture if you like.
