Little Hans and BIG Bill, the Ressourcenfresser
Once upon a very long time ago in a little tiny home of
a small German town from the old days
Little Hans lived in piece and unity with himself and his
loved ones. But one day, he realized that there was openWCMS.org, a remarkable
domain name longing for registration since 1997. What could
Little Hans do in this case?
Little Hans, like a Brain-Child
Open WCMS and org stand appropriately and precisely for
the intention of
Little Hans: A Web Content Management System free for any
use. At long last he followed his inner voice and registrated openwcms.org.
When looking over and over again like a
brain-child for simple solutions that would fit to the
capabililties of his customers and to his own, the childish idea was born in
his brain. While taking action by night and day, day and night, he found
inspiration and created the openwcms logo.
Great Bill, the Ressourcenfresser
And
Great Bill, the
Ressourcenfresser, became aware of all this. He was furious
as never seen before in his life as
CEO of
Micro-Ressourcenfresser.
There must be no simple solution for anybody at all!
Any WCMS for dummies is completely out of sight! In fact, it can not even exist
as black box full of mysteries! KEEP IT COMPLICATED!
If someone
wants to drive a car, he needs a licence, doesn't he? Really, that is fact!
Hasta la vista, Baby!
... Bill outraged from his big chair. And
Great
Bill, the Ressourcenfresser, continued to gibber in public as well as
in disclosure. And all the members of his big staff who weren't fired yet
agreed to him and gave him a big hand.
But more and more programmers worldwide experienced the
same thing. Faster central prozessor units, bigger hard disks and growing read
only memories. One final day they stood up and proclaimed louder and louder:
KISS for all!
KISS for free!
Keep
It Simple, Stupid !
Little Hans: I have a Dream
Many teams of programmers worldwide began coding to have
a more or less individual wcms for their purposes. And Little Hans in good old
Germany said:
I have a dream that I will one day surf in an internet
where they will not be judged by the restrictions of their browser but by the
content of their web sites made accordingly to the World Wide Web Consortium
with XHTML and CSS!
I have a dream to work with a micro wcms
generated from the same code which builds big projects as well!
If
you are building a house for some reason, you may wonder how many thousands of
stones you will need to get a complete building out of them as well as a
garage. That's it! That really is all about it!
That was really true! Happy Little Hans was not alone
with his childish idea. And a big enchanted chorus of internet users echoed
throughout the world wide web striking the kingdom of gibbering
Bill. More and more people refused to listen to this
outdated Ressourcenfresser any more. At last he retired from
Micro-Ressourcenfresser on Jan 8th, 2008. Now is the time to make things
better!
Open WCMS means Simplicity and Performance
Finally a growing group of users was happy together
coding open wcms and spreading the word of it's amazing
simplicity and outstanding
performance. And if they haven't died yet, they are still
coding.
