ZMSLabs - Open Research and Development Platform
ZMSLabs is a platform for open source and open content projects in context of the ZMS Publishing System.
ZMS (Zope based Content Management for Science, Technology and Medicine) is a complete solution for electronic publishing - in particular e-science purposes. The underlying efficiency-oriented publication model is the result of many consulting projects in recent years by HOFFMANN+LIEBENBERG, Berlin. Modularity of the ZMS components and approved production processes turn ZMS into an uncomparably rapid tool.

Get involved with ZMSLabs
ZMSLabs is based on Trac with Agilo for Scrum plug-in to provide a flexible tool for source code and project management.
Since 12/2009 it is the official tool of the ZMS Core Development Team at SNTL Publishing, Berlin.
The projects of the Department Educational Research and Services, Media Center at Dresden University of Technology will be merged to TUDLabs.
Intended use cases are:
- Contributing add-ons (extensions, themes)
- Collecting documentations (for users, for developers)
- Translating things (user interface, docs)
- Reporting bugs (errors, defects)
- Testing components (quality assurance)
For further information please contact the maintainer Christian Meier and have a look at the How-to (still in progress).

Installation of ZMS Add-ons
ZMS supports online update sites for installing and updating of extensions and themes (since ZMS-2.11.1-740). At the moment there are two update sites enabled by default:
- ZMS-Publishing Update Site
- ZMSLabs Update Site (powered by CMESS)
You can edit $ZMS_HOME/import/configure.zcml resp. $ZMS_HOME/www/themes.zcml to fit your needs.
Extensions
Extensions are installed via Configuration > System > Import Configuration Package as .conf.zip-Files usually.
You can also import configurations for Languages, Meta-attributes, Content-objects, Paragraph-formats, Character-formats, Actions, Workflows and Filters as .xml-Files separately.
Examples are ZMSMediaPlayer, ZMSForum and ZMSCaptcha - find more resources at zms-publishing.com.
Themes
Themes are installed on ZMS setup as .zexp-Files usually.
You can also import a new theme or export the current theme via Configuration > Design > Theme afterwards.
Additional there is the ZMSThemeChanger extension available, which supports on-the-fly theme changing (requires special folder layout and calling of API-functions in templates - see ZMSThemes-Proposal for more information and YAML-3.1_examples theme for proof of concept).
