Onxshop, a CMS and e-commerce package created for web developers, is now available for free download following its open source launch.

The newly released Onxshop CMS provides one of the simplest options currently available on the web for combining traditional content management and an eCommerce store.

It was made available for free download last month after almost a decade of use on the web projects of its creator Norbert Laposa, of Belfast-based Laposa Web Solutions.

Our CMS Focus page lists the top 30 content management systems that we want to discuss most here at CMS Report. It has been more than a year and a half since I made any changes to this list and so I decided it was time to make some significant changes. On this page you'll now find 10 new CMS that have been added to the list as well as ten previously listed CMS that were "retired" to the "Hall of Fame".

The applications listed under CMS Focus are not necessarily the biggest and most popular in content management, but instead are CMSs that for whatever reason have caught and kept my attention. If you find value in the CMS Focus page then that's great news and I'm glad I could help. If you find little value in lists such as these, that's fine too and I hope that you can find other content here at CMS Report that at least plays a role in your quest for a better CMS solution.

For those curious, the following ten web applications were added to CMS Focus:

• Accrisoft
• Contegro
• Hippo CMS
• Jahia
• Liferay Portal
• Magnolia
• Nuxeo
• Percussion CM1
• Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware
• TERMINALFOUR
  

SilverStripe Ltd. is due to release SilverStripe CMS 3.0 in alpha in October and beta by the end of the year.

Accrisoft Corporation has announced the release of the newest version of Freedom CMS, a software package for building and managing database-driven, content-managed websites.
