As part of MCMS vNext becoming a component within O12 Server, there has been a need to change the name of some of the core entities to be consistent with the SharePoint technologies.
Here are the new names to learn :
Posting -> Page (see below)
Channel -> Site (see below)
Template -> Page Layout + MasterPage
Template Definition -> Content Type
Placeholder -> Field Control
Placeholder Definition -> Column Templates
Channel Structure / Top Level Channel -> Site Collection
Resources -> Images in the Image Library; Documents in the Document Library
Site Manager -> Site Manager Tool (now web based !)
With MCMS / SharePoint today we have three types of containers - MCMS Channels / SPS Areas / WSS workspaces. vNext will introduce a single new container (a Site) that provides a superset of all existing functionality.
An MCMS web page (previously a posting) will be stored as a WSS list item (in a list called Pages). The MCMS placeholder content will be stored in the columns in the WSS list item. By storing the MCMS content within a WSS List, we can have same consistent workflow / metadata / versioning / checkin-out that SharePoint utilises.
