ZMSLabs - Open Research and Development Platform
ZMSLabs is a platform for open source and open content projects in context of the ZMS Content Management System.
It is based on Trac with Agilo for Scrum plug-in to provide a flexible tool for source code and project management.

At the moment it is used for issue tracking and planning internally at Media Center, TU Dresden.
In 12/2009 a proof of concept together with the ZMS Core Development Team at HOFFMANN+LIEBENBERG was started.
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.com)
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).
