Open Journal Systems
To replace the aging Within Reach website, I’m evaluating Open Journal Systems. It was created for scientific journals, and so is a bit “heavy” at times, but it seems pretty clean in general. I find the administrative interface really unintuitive, but it’s one of the few pieces of software I’ve seen that’s geared towards issue-based online publications. Hopefully the non-techies that actually publish the magazine will be able to figure it out.
I’ll be modifying the templates and such to make the site a little more friendly, but this is my first experience using PHP’s template engine, so we’ll see how things go.
