Open Source Newspaper/Magazine Software for Web Publishing

Campsite is a multi-lingual web publishing system that can bring your newspaper or magazine content to the online world. It is often used by media organizations who also have a printed version of their publication, and enables them to increase their revenues with online subscriptions and ads.  There are many systems that might seem similar to Campsite, but it is the only open source system designed to work in the same style of newspapers and magazines - for example, with multiple journalists, editor review, issue publishing, and subscription management.

Testimonials

"Campsite is our first choice for publishing magazines on the web. Our youth magazine fluter.de has been running on Campsite since 2001. Ever since, we could rely on it`s stability and have been impressed with the ongoing development of new features over the years. Most noticably, the automated publishing scheduler - which buys us a lot of spare time while pre-produced material is automatically going online."
