Hi all,
Just popping a note to everyone that we recently released version 2.0.0
of our SilverStripe open source cms.
It was recently featured on the homepage of ajaxian.com, del.icio.us etc
which led to us a small write up at
http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/being_delicious.html
In short, its a CMS focused on "web 2.0" usability. We see many CMSs as
having too many interface features, and much like most cellphones that
are overloaded with features in a bid to sell phones, you end up with
something that then becomes unusably complex... it often takes 18 steps
to just the most simple common task, which defeats the whole purpose.
We still do have things like WYSIWIG editors, content-reuse,
history/rollback, drag n drop sitemap editors, but without freaking you out!
It then contains a framework similar to Ruby on Rails or PHP's Cake to
build your website and to extend the CMS, which is how modules like
forums and shopping carts are written.
Have a play at http://demo.silverstripe.com/admin/?oscom
(login as "admin" and "password")
You can then download the source (BSD license) at www.silverstripe.com,
which also has forums, tutorials, examples, et al
Siggy
