<h1>Welcome to the OpenCms Project</h1>
<p>OpenCms is a professional level <strong>Open Source Website Content Management System</strong>. OpenCms helps to create and manage complex websites easily without knowledge of html. An integrated WYSIWYG editor with a user interface similar to well known office applications helps the user creating the contents, while a sophisticated template engine enforces a site-wide corporate layout. As true Open Source software, <strong>OpenCms is completely free of licensing costs</strong>.</p>
<p>OpenCms is based on Java and XML technology.&nbsp;Therefore&nbsp;it fits perfectly into almost any&nbsp;existing modern&nbsp;IT&nbsp;infrastructure. OpenCms runs&nbsp;in&nbsp;a &quot;full open source&quot; environment (e.g. Linux, Apache, Tomcat, MySQL) as well as on&nbsp;commercial components (e.g. &nbsp;Windows NT, IIS, BEA Weblogic, Oracle DB).</p>
<p>To learn more about OpenCms, take a look at the <a href="/opencms/en/support/tour/index.html" target="_self">Guided Tour</a> available in the <a href="/opencms/en/support/" target="_self">Support</a> section.

<P><STRONG>OpenCms 7 release plan:<BR></STRONG>Updated Feb. 14, 2007 for the release of 7 Alpha 1.</P>
<P>The Alpha and Beta releases of OpenCms 7 will be available in the public CVS only. These releases will not be feature complete, and the core API will be subject to further change. The Alpha release are tagged "build_7alpha_x". The Beta releases will be tagged "build_7beta_x". The first Alpha version has been made available February 14, 2007 (CVS tag "build_7alpha_1"). The Beta stage will be started March 21, 2007. </P>
<P>The first public release for download from <A href="http://www.opencms.org/">www.opencms.org</A> will be OpenCms 7 RC 1 (Release Candidate 1). This release will be available May 2, 2007. There will be no update wizard in this version. After the release of this version, we will concentrate on issues regarding backward compatibility with the version 6 releases. </P>
<P>The second public release for download will be OpenCms 7 RC 2, available June 6, 2007. This version will contain bug fixes and the final and stable core API for version 7. It will also contain the first version of an update wizard for version 7. The goal is to be able to update all released stable OpenCms 6.0 and 6.2 versions to OpenCms 7 using this update wizard. This release will also mark the beginning of the "feature freeze" period, which means no new features will be added to the core after the OpenCms 7 RC 2 release.</P>
<P>OpenCms 7.0 final will be released July 4, 2007. Compared to the RC 2 version, we expect no changes except fixes for bugs or other issues that have been found in the RC 2 release. This version will also contain the final and tested version of the update wizard. </P>
<P>Please note that this feature list and release plan for OpenCms 7 comes without any warranty and it is subject to change without notice.
