Its > XML-centric architecture allows for content delivery targeted to the > capabilities of the devices of today and tomorrow, and avoids data > lock-in as with proprietary solutions. Apache Lenya is built > around Off > the Shelf components from the Apache Software Foundation, which are > familiar to thousands of technologists, and are documented extensively > in dozens of books. > > The Apache Software Stack is quickly becoming the preeminent platform > for building Internet applications. By leveraging the Apache Software > Stack, Apache Lenya offers a robust, future-proof solution > that reserves > technology investments. > > Apache Lenya comes with the features you would expect of a modern > Content Management System, such as Revision Control, Scheduling, a > built-in Search Engine, seperate Staging Areas, and Workflow. Because > Apache Lenya uses XML throughout, it can offer much more than > other CMS > that marginally use XML. > > Some notable features include: > > * Browser-based WYSIWYG Editors that validate input against a W3C XML > Schema. This prevents invalid markup as produced by other editors, > and allows to enforce web site style guidelines. > > * A publication concept that allows reuse of the information > architecture of a site and brings modularity to the content level. > > > "As an IT Trade Magazine, we care about independence" says Wolfgang > Boehler from Computerworld Switzerland, "it increases our credibility. > That is why we chose Apache Lenya for our site, and why we intend to > build on that first step." > > "Having been personally obsessed for years for the quest for the > perfect Content Management Framework, I am very happy to see Lenya > seeding this on top of Cocoon technology." says Stefano Mazzocchi, > founder of the Apache Cocoon project, and adds: "The Apache Lenya > effort has to be seen as a powerful software seed for the creation > of a solid, healthy and diverse development community around the > problems of Content Management, but following the Cocoon philosophy > that we provide frameworks and toolkits and you build the stuff > you need." > > > This release of Apache Lenya is a refactored version of the codebase > that has been in production at major sites such as Neue > Zuercher Zeitung > (www.nzz.ch) and the University of Zurich (www.unipublic.unizh.ch) for > nearly three years. Wyona Ltd donated the Apache Lenya codebase > (formerly known as Wyona CMS) to the Apache Software Foundation in > May 2003. > > For more information about Apache Lenya, please go to: > > http://cocoon.apache.org/lenya/ > > or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Thank for your interest and thanks to all who made this possible. > > The Apache Lenya Worldwide Community > > > -- > http://cms-list.org/ > more signal, less noise. >
