Awesome project, in the process of migrating all my custom built CMS solutions to Mezzanine. Never really found a CMS that was simple for the user to understand, and allowed easy customization. So have always built custom CMS/product catalogues for each client. Re-using apps where possible. On

Congrats on the release Steve. As a developer that has been using Mezzanine for a bit under a year and a half I have to say that I have been really pleased with the project. A lot has changed in the time since I began using Mezzanine but even in it's infancy Mezzanine provided a very usable base

Yes - behind the project homepage is the entire demo site where anyone can log in and try it out. I've left debug on so that when people find errors on it they can submit the traceback easily. It's been really helpful on the few occasions it has happened. On Mar 4, 12:55 pm, arshaver
