Not too keen on moving far off the path. I'm not keen on it either - arbitrary patches, even if I had the time to learn Ruby, Rails. (Not that I don't intend to, but its a matter of priorities. Only so much time.) Like you, Todd, I have to deal with the content and structure and presentation rather than the code. That's why I'm using CMS. The client baulked - rightly so - at the complexity of Joomla and Drupal. Rightly so. TWiki was almost there, but its a huge footprint and as it has bloated it has slowed down. The content model of Radiant is nice and clear. The "programming" of the structure with the tags isn't difficult. Textile scared them at first since they'd never heard of it, but once they say how much easier it was than HTML they were relieved. "Its almost like you'd write in e-mail". Indeed. I appreciate that Radiant is just at 0.5.x But the reality is that a lot of software at 2.x or 3.x still has problems. Its ALWAYS "work in progress". As are out client sites :-( /a _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: [email protected] Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
