Hi Алексей Лапуста

No problem about your English, mine is not better either :-)

First of all, yes, Magnolia has a Russian language-file. So you can have Magnolia's GUI also in Russian. So a good start!

But before selecting a CMS, you have to look into the projects you will be doing. There are many good CMS out there, so you want to choose a CMS with which you can achieve your project goals "best" (meaning, fast-in-time, user-friendly, re-usable code, etc.). That's the reason why Magnolia has been selected more than 200'000 times in the last view months! It's not because it's open source and it's not becuase of the user-friendly GUI. It's because of the underlaying content storage technology!

If you have been using Database driven CMS (like Typo3), you know into what hassle you run into when you start changing tables or functionality. That's why the founders of the award-winning CMS "Communiqué" have chosen a different aproach: Content is written into a "Content Repository" rather than into a data source. The huge world-wide success of this technology was the motivation for Day Software to standardize this technology. Check out the standardisation request "JSR 170". In fact, I would recommend you to spend a lot of time understanding that technology. It will be as revolutionary to the IT-market as RDBMS were many years ago! Next to the open source reference-implementation "Jackrabbit", you can also buy a sophisticated commercial version of a JSR 170 compliant "Content Repository based on Java Technology". Check http://www.day.com and look for "CRX".

So the reason to choose Magnolia is:
- State-of-the-art, JSR 170 compliant, "Content Repository based on Java Technology"
- User-friendly GUI
- Open source

Magnolias JSR 170 compliant content repository allows you to write your web application and never bothering yourself about where the content is stored. The repository takes care of writing and reading content. So when you change data source (e.g. from FS to XML or RDBMS), you re-configure (easily) your repository, done! Furthermore the repository-API offers you services like Versioning, Access-Control, Fulltext-Search and more! Which RDBMS can offer you that?

The important thing is that you understand the Content Repository technology. Once you are familiar with that, you will be amazed how powerful the repository is!

And to save you time figuring out how all the bits and pieces fit together: Join a "Magnolia Developer Training"! Every month there is a class in either Europe or USA. You can get more information on http://www.magnolia.info/en/magnolia/services/training.html.

Hope this helps you make your decisions easy :-)

Cheers
Giancarlo

Everybody hi!

It there eny russian language pack for Magnolia? What about modules,
some simple modules like polls, forum & so on... I've found no
modules(

I looked through lot of Java-based CMS. First I've stopped on the
OpenCms - looks like to be a very popular one. But your user-friendly
interface is very impressive. I've also met Vertical Site - just what
I want... But it's not free & costs a lot. Really I want something
like Typo3 but in Java.

P.S. Sorry for mu stupid questions & for my bad English (I from Russia).
