January, 2011.

This month's feature article looks at a popular open-source tool and why it is losing popularity. I highly recommend it for anyone tempted by open-source CM solutions.

We also continue our examination of the implications of computer industry trends for CM, announce our latest release and what's in it for you, and include an In Depth look at one of SnapshotCM's new features.

We also included some Links We Like below.

As always, we welcome your feedback and ideas.
