Campsite is a free and open source multilingual content management system for news websites.[1] Its localizable user interface was built with journalists, editors and publishers in mind, rather than computer experts,[2] and it can be configured to suit different profiles of end users. Campsite follows a newspaper publishing model, so it structures sites by default as Publications, Issues, Sections and Articles, rather than nodes or objects. Campsite is intended for medium-to-large-size online news publications, but it can be used to manage content for smaller sites too. Campsite allows the management of multiple journalists and publications from a single interface.[3]

News sites running on Campsite

Campsite has been deployed by more than 50 organisations[4] from Sourcefabric parent organization the Media Development Loan Fund, as shown on its homepage[5] to smaller sites like the La Salle University Collegian Newspaper.[6] International sites displaying a 'Powered by Campsite' badge include elPeriodico de Guatemala.[7]

Integration with Campcaster

It is possible to integrate the Campsite CMS with the Campcaster broadcast automation system by linking to audio clips hosted on the Campcaster audio file storage server, as used at Kala Radio, a station in Kotor, Montenegro.[8]

3.4 release series

Features of the current 3.4 release series[9] include improved search options (both internally and for external search engines), a clean up of the graphical interface (new icons and administration interface), and easier installation.

On 30 July 2010, Campsite 3.4.1 was released fixing a potential XSS vulnerability and improving session handling to avoid logged user session grabbing via CSRF attack.[10] The current update version 3.4.3, was released on 5 October 2010, adding Polish localization.[11]

Campsite 3.4 has a user-generated manual hosted by FLOSS Manuals.[12]

Newscoop renaming

On January 17, 2011, Sourcefabric announced the renaming of Campsite to Newscoop.[13]
