About Krang
Krang is an open source web publishing/content management system, particularly
well suited for high volume magazine-style web sites. Originally developed in
2003 by Primedia, Krang is currently used by hundreds of well-known web sites
including New York Magazine, Motor Trend, Soap Opera Digest, In-Fisherman, Guns
& Ammo, Florida Sportsman, Game & Fish, Equisearch.com, Power & Motor Yacht,
and many more.
Krang provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing environment
for website editors, as well as a complete template development environment for
web designers. On the back-end, Perl programmers can customize Krang to control
the data entered in the story editor and add code to drive the templates to
build output. Krang can be enhanced with add-ons containing new skins and other
new features. Krang easily handles large data sets and can manage multiple
websites in a single installation.
