THE ABC's New Media and Digital Services wants a new Content Management
System, but has placed strict rules on parties wishing to win the
contract with an open source program.
In calling for expressions of interest, it says "submissions from
consultants aggregating third-party software, including open-source
software will not be considered".
But the ABC later issued an addendum that said it would consider
open-source software so long as the respondent was responsible for
"creating and maintaining their own open source CM solution".

I guess this means ANY software relying on Microsoft Windows DLLs is out
of contention!!
Be a small tender list I reckon.

When a house is getting long in the tooth, less functional and less
attractive, it gets a renovation.
When a computer system is slow to respond, broken down or incapable, it
is overhauled.
When a car has lost its gloss but brings enough memories of good times
to overcome the desire for a newer model, it is restored.
Funny thing, political correctness.
Women get a makeover.
