Next Generation CMS 2003

The article I read was on Next Generation CMS by Colleen Carmean and Jeremy Haefner(EduCause Quarterly, 2003.)The article was a little dated, but it drove home several problems with CMS as was in 2003. The suggested hypothetical fixes amazingly enough have been implemented in todays systems. Web Driven upload and Download, Speed, the ability to edit, comment, and track changes from within the CMS, uploading new documents in a new target window, simplified navigation, improved gradebook systems, skill level of designers are problems of the past. As of today, and as a new user of the CMS here at UW I have had little complaint about how the instructors are using the system. I am sure however those who are most closely in the field are always looking for that next generation of improved systems.
