All, It seems like creating a Basic Sling CMS is an exciting topic for a lot of people and something a lot of people are interested in. I've also been working on something on the side as well for this, and I was wondering if others would see this potentially as a good base to start with.
The idea here is to be somewhat more developer focused (at least in the initial version) and somewhat limited in functionality, but to provide basic functionality for managing web content. It was based on Publick initially, but I found that was more single-blog focused than I wanted so it's significantly diverged. If you have a sec, I'd appreciate feedback and thoughts on the project. I haven't had a chance to really document much about how it should work and it's not 100% functional (aka don't try to edit a page) but a lot of the core functionality is there. https://github.com/klcodanr/sling-cms Thanks, Dan On Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 3:45 PM, Chris Millar (JIRA) <[email protected]> wrote: > > [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6666?page= > com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment- > tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15949678#comment-15949678 ] > > Chris Millar commented on SLING-6666: > ------------------------------------- > > I'm probably speaking out of turn, but I have many thoughts on this. > > First, I agree with what everyone is saying.
