To CMS or Not To CMS

Fellow documentarians, let’s start a new meetup season in Amsterdam after the summer break! We are excited to invite you to our new venue in the heart of Amsterdam, at Keizersgracht 617, with warm welcome from the Adyen documentation team.

This time we decided to bring a very challenging and controversial topic, which most of the documentation teams asked at least once: To CMS or Not to CMS?

If you have any experience with making this hard choice (and we believe that you do), please contact Alex Akimov and Laura Vass and prepare a short presentation (max 10 minutes) to share with the rest of the group.

We believe that there is no single right answer to this question, so any opinion is welcome!

Write the Docs is a global community of documentarians who share information, discuss ideas, and work together to improve the art and science of documentation.

To support a welcoming environment for all, regardless of individual differences, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to when they participate in this community activities. These rules apply equally to founders, organizers, moderators, sponsors, and affiliates – in short, to all participants.
