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
recent (as I type) and respond to it, with responses to

I thought that you can deploy to HTML5 with the community licence. The GPL
wouldn’t put you off playing with it, would it?

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
like David said that leverages the Desktop value of LC while spewing out
I don't see much value in building a CMS or CMS front end. There is value

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
However our community IS a lot smaller than Python’s...
Kind regards

revIgniter is one of the best open source projects in the LiveCode
Hi Alex
My instinct would be to build on revIgniter rather than start another (possibly
competing) project - I would be much more likely to contribute to an enriched
revIgniter than to two disjointed projects

I was talking about this with a couple programmer friends recently. It
seems almost a right of passage these days for devs to start making a
custom CMS. Some even finish them. :) All of them learn useful
things. One of my friends learned to really appreciate Jekyll. The
other splits his
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,
Hey Alex,
Long time, no see! Hope all is well over there. Its that time again when I
pop up out of nowhere and write a long email, sorry for the longform text

as pointed before by Ralf, CMSs are tricky business and quite hard to get
it right. It is easy to get

I have played with this a bit, and got pretty far for a proof of concept
for an ecommerce project I was working on. I stopped working on it when I
left the company I was working for.
I did not use rev igniter since I wanted it to function as it's own
framework and I think it just makes the
Hi Alex,
here are my offhand and fairly blunt thoughts on your undertaking.
First of all I think that the primary challenge in building a CMS, no matter
if you use LiveCode, PHP or whatever, is to provide a tool for an audience
which is not that tech-savvy.
So, the process of managing web content
I code in LC and use the debugger testing revIgnitor controllers locally,
then upload them to the revIgniter site to test remotely. This happens all
within the script editor. I use stacks as libraries both locally and with
revIgnitor. That way I feel you get the best of both worlds. It works by
I have been using LC to generate complete websites but I use LC only as
a generator of HTML pages from data files and database content, using
CSS for theming and HTML hierarchical template files that call LC
functions through merge. I believe that Richard Gaskin is still selling

Hi Alex,
As much as I think revigniter is brilliant at what it does I really think
if this is going to be done it should be done in LC totally.
1. The first reason which you in the fact brought up that we could use
the IDE to debug
2. If PHP can do it why not Livecode?
3. I'm really hating
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
thing I love more than that and its Livecode.
So put me down for a yes.

Unlikely.
Wordpress themes are written in PHP (or, if you like, HTML with a lot of

Hi Alex, I'm working on this too in the coming weeks. I'd be happy to work
on it with you if it were on GitHub. I'm working on the following aspects:
1. Static site generation and integration with relevant tool chains
2. Integration with revIgniter
3. Docker based hosting infrastructure
