The Simple CMS for some reason did not get copied over to github during the export process from Google Code. Github claimed everything went smoothly during the export, but it appears there are missing files. The simple cms was missing file locking or file sharing for multiple users, as at the time, fpc didn't have file sharing ability. It's also, not really a CMS and more of a basis for an absolute bone simple wiki style content management, with no bells and whistles whatsoever. Most of the examples in powtils were meant to be pure learning demos, minimal as possibly could be without any bells and whistles. I will upload the files to github after I figure out what was lost during the export. Slowly I am learning Github (after first learning a bit of CVS years ago, then everyone went to SVN, now it's github.. what next...) Plan to release simple wiki too as just the parser is there, without actual code that runs the wiki. The main issue was file sharing was not available in fpc (other than unix sys calls or winapi calls directly) at the time of development.. but now FPC has implemented file sharing and locking as part of the RTL. GoLang is also missing file locking and sharing tools in their main cross platform RTL and this is a common problem. File sharing is essential when doing a flat file (no database) content management system or wiki... as without file sharing only one user can really use it safely.
