That's a big order, Marvin. I am a designer rather than a developer but 
would think you may want to keep things very simple.

This is an open-source XML based lite CMS.

It may more than meet your need and will probably be a lot less 
frustrating in the long run...

Marvin, I suggest you study more before choose any CMS to your project and
verify wich better fit in your requirements.

I use the three CMS's, and I prefer the Wordpress, because is more simple to
configure and install.

RE: [WSG] HELP WITH SETTING UP A CMS PROJECT

2010-09-15 Thread Raul Ferrer
Hi Mark,

 

In a normal state I would probably second your thoughts, but Marvin is NO
spammer.

He’s a blind coder, so it’s very probably that he didn’t notice he was
writing in Caps.

 

He’s also been working on the Star Trek project for quite a while and
besides, he’s quite active on this list. 

So before assuming “the obvious” search for the user and you’ll see that
he’s no spammer.

 

Cheers

 

Raul

Re: [WSG] HELP WITH SETTING UP A CMS PROJECT

2010-09-15 Thread Mark Host
 I've only been on this list for about 6 months or so, but foot has 
been placed firmly in mouth.  Anyways, perhaps I should contribute 
something constructive.


I think Joomla is bloated (though a very good CMS) and requires more of 
learning curve.  Where as WordPress is a great all-around platform, 
particularly with the new version 3. Drupal is a great CMS, but again, 
probably too much bloat.


I have been developing sites in Stacey http://staceyapp.com/ and playing 
with Perch http://grabaperch.com/ because they are lightweight and less 
clutter.  Though, Stacey is probably not a great fit because it requires 
a bit more effort.


I wonder how any of these CMS's work with screenreaders, given the long 
list of menus that aren't always used and heavy use of admin Javascript.


Thanks for being an understanding group of individuals!

Totally agree with Paulo.

In terms of CMS/Blogs, I like these:

1. ExpressionEngine
http://expressionengine.com/

2. Textpattern
http://textpattern.com/

They are both more blog than CMS... I guess it really depends on your
needs. EE has some good addons for managing flat pages. TXP is free
whereas EE has a nominal yearly fee for the licensing.

You also might consider a framework. I prefer these:

1. Django (Python)
2. CodeIgniter (PHP)

Django is pretty dope... I think I like it better than CI, but the
learning curve can be steep depending on your level of experience.

You might also look at content management systems built using CI and/or Django:

1. Django-cms
http://www.django-cms.org/

2. Pinax

You might also check out this site:

Django Packages
http://djangopackages.com/

Expression Engine 2.0 (their latest version) is built on CI.

PyroCMS looks good (built on CI):
http://pyrocms.com/

I do agree with the others who suggest WordPress though... If you are
pretty new to CMS/Blog systems, with WP you will probably be
up-and-running in no time. :)

Good luck!
Cheers,
Micky
