So many interesting, thoughtful and thought-provoking responses - I am
overwhelmed. Thank you.
I can't reply to each of them - flooding the list with 24 responses
would be somewhat anti-social :-), so I'll arbitrarily pick the most

Thank you for bringing that up. There are a great many design decisions

While not exactly a CMS, I used LC as a paypal button code generator
(encrypted buttons using openssl as the basis.) My little program
generates a complete paypal button for each item and stores it in an sqlite
database. It also takes an image drop and generates 2 sizes for the
gallery I use. A
Taking a tangential line of thought in this thread, I think there is value
in exploring "more focused" or "less flexible" solutions than complete CMSs
to gauge the feasibility of a CMS project. Specially if it is something

Well of course if you put it that way I don’t want to do anything to discourage
exploration, let a 1,000 flowers bloom etc and I’d love to see a LC CMS

Hi Alex
My instinct would be to build on revIgniter rather than start another (possibly

Alejandro,
You could but there lies a question of why should you do it? The idea of
storing flat files is that they are easy to edit by a human. Most flat file
CMSs use Markdown plus a frontmatter in YAML these days and that is really
a good system. Check out GravCMS, Jekyll, Metalsmith, Hexo, for

I recently started working with livecode server and revigniter after 5
years of strictly desktop dev..so I'd definately be able to help contribute
to the development. I gotta say I love wordpress. but there is one
