Hi, thanks for looking.

Fed-up with all the other CMSes, I decided to build my own. (of course)

Goals:

  • I want it to be a true Rails-app.
    • Not a separate thing that defines how you add to it (like Radiant)
    • Not template-driven or having any specific learning curve (bring HAML or ERB)
    • Can add any feature I want on top of it. Ecommerce, Social Networking, etc.
  • Has the following set of basic features
    • Pages are composed of many elements, makes it easy to add:
      • Simple HTML WYSIWYG (tiny-mce)
      • Embedded code (You-tube, and other flash media)
      • Code blocks
      • File uploads and Photo collections
      • Event Calendaring
      • Blogging (News) engine

Maybe in the future, I will add some simple helpers for the public side of things, but for right now that is an exercise that is relatively easy for a novice Rails programmer. This CMS is designed for Rails developers that want to have a decent starting point, adding pages to a website.
