Veedub CMS  is a content management system for VMS-based Web sites.

Veedub is a nickname for the VWcms (VMS Web-content management system) application.  The generic term content management system (CMS) is used to refer to software applications used to organize information in various environments.   In this case VWcms helps organize Web sites on VMS systems.

Of course the documentation you are currently reading is composed and managed using VWcms!

Why another CMS?

Good question!  And why one written using a compiler rather than based on some scripting engine such as PHP?

• There seemed a lack of basic Web-content management on VMS
• It's file-system (rather than say MySQL) based (ODS-2 or ODS-5)
• Designed to be usable on all VMS hardware and software platforms from V6.0 onwards
• CGI and so requires no additional infrastructure or scripting engine
• It is fast and can be run as a WASD CGIplus application making it five (or more) times as fast again!
• Highly customisable and simple to manage
• HTML/XHTML and Cascading Style Sheet technologies
• JavaScript required to manage but not to view

If all you require is a functional infrastructure for site hosting or elementary shared authoring providing ...

• Authentication
• On-line editing and management
• HTML WYSIWYG editing
• Seach

... then Veedub is maybe what you are looking for!

VWcms is not designed to be all things to all people, just much of what many may need.
