Re: [WSG CMS] New open source cms project starting

[Julián Landerreche]

I would suggest you to look at TextPattern (www.textpattern.com). For me, TXP is not just an evolutioned CMS in the CMS timeline, it's a revolutionary CMS, at least, if you see it from the side of a website developer/designer. I would say that with TXP you have the control over the 100% of the code (XHTML+CSS) outputted. I cannot be impartial with TXP because I'm in love with TXP since long time ago. But really, I think that TXP deserves a look and a try for anyone that want to develope a new CMS. I have also tried to learn Drupal, and when I gave up, I wrote this: http://drupal.org/node/34007 One advice: you should give high-priority to the documentation of the CMS. I mean, one of the most common critics to open-source software (and maybe particulary to CMS) are the lack of documentation. BaBu? I like that! Julián . Serhan D.

Since I've quit developing DCP-Portal after 4 years and over 200,000 downloads, I've started to thinking to start a new project. New project will be a content management system. This means the base package won't have portal system features like member login, forum etc like many others. But it will be possible to add these features with extra modules (which most of them will be free and open source). I'm now planning this new project and I want to learn what users, site owners need. Why do I have to develop a new system? Can you please help me? - Why do you need a new system (or do you need a new system :)) - Which feature(s) is a must for a CMS? - Which extra modules do you need? - Which points/features are missed by the current projects? New project will require PHP5 and a database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL etc). Project name is BaBu Portal (www.babuportal.com will be the domain). Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks very much. Regards Serhan D.
