Is it time for Yet Another CMS? I would be willing to help if it seems
like a good idea. Otherwise we would all be creating our own custom
solutions in a duplication of effort. The question is whether this
duplication can be eliminated.
You should really talk a look at Django. It makes building your own
CMS a breeze. Why spend the time learning someone else's CMS when you
can write your own in about 20 lines of Python (or less)? Your
learning will be much more well spent, and much more applicable
elsewhere if you do that. The documentation is pretty darn good, here
are a couple tutorials to get you started:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial1/
http://www2.jeffcroft.com/2006/may/02/django-non-programmers/
The full documentation:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/
And they are releasing a book chapter by chapter on the web:
http://www.djangobook.com/
(and that site is a django CMS application too)
