At the MySource Matrix International User Conference held last week, Squiz announced that the revolutionary new CMS, MySource Mini will soon be released under the GPL open source license and that the CMS is now available as a free download. Anyone may download an easy to install VMware image at no charge from http://mini.squiz.net. Easy to evaluate, easy to maintain and easy to use, this 4th generation CMS from the Squiz product stable is a significant step forward for Web Content Management.

And ease of use is where MySource Mini excels. Thanks to the revolutionary Viper editing interface every element of a website can be edited in line and without a traditional "backend" user interface. Viper offers true inline WYSIWYG "click-to-edit" functionality to easily create and manage content without technical skills or specialised training. Viper's real-time track changes functionality brings the best of document change management to the web. New sites can be up and running fast courtesy of MySource Mini's selection of pre-loaded designs. Detailed context-sensitive help is always available when and where it is needed.

The free VMware image can be upgraded via a subscription to use Squiz's up-to-date service. This service keeps the entire platform updated without the need for human intervention. Squiz believes this service is unique and represents a sea change for an industry traditionally associated with lengthy and expensive upgrade processes.
