Yes of course ! MIT licenced. Maybe I need to present zena in a few words: The CMS started as an inside tool to help with my art projects and associations. What I needed was a tool that was very flexible in the layout / workflow / content but at the same time was easy to use to post new content. If it's not easy, the content on the website just ... rots. I also needed a strong multilingual support. I also implemented multi-site support (mainly to ease on resources). Actually zena is used to build applications (training management, project management) or websites (http://zenadmin.org, http://rubyk.org, etc) or both at the same time. The main power of zena is it's data model and the templating language. The model lets you create new classes from the web with class inheritance so that your site actually works with things that make sense to the domain you are working in (Concerts, Albums, Tours, Songs, Houses, Friends, ...). Simple example of a template to display the concerts of a tour with date and link to map: <ul do='concerts'> <li do='each'><!-- in a concert context --> <p class='date' do='show' date='event_at' tformat='concert'/> <!-- display date with translated format 'concert' (defined in a yaml dictionary) --> <p class='title' do='[v_title]'/> <!-- display version title --> <p class='map' do='location'> <!-- use a relation to move to "location" context --> <a do='[v_title]' set_href='[d_map]'/> <!-- dynamic attribute with map --> </p> </li> </ul> > > > On Jan 7, 11:03 pm, "Gaspard Bucher" <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi there ! >> >> I want to port zena (http://zenadmin.org) from Rails 1.2.3 to Merb. >> >> There are 2+1 goals in this migration: >> >> 1. remove most hacks in zena that were needed in Rails >> 2. improve modularity (choice of authentication, etc) >> 3.
