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.

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).
