Well, I''ve searched around for various options for rails based CMS, or even ruby based for that matter. And none seem production worth. Hobix is quite interesting, but I''m looking specificly for an online system with a web management interface. So I''m considering writing my own, and would like some feedback on what people would like to see from a CMS, what content model (flat or tree) they''d like, etc. Or, if there''s a viable option that you know of that you think I''ve overlooked, let me know. Thanks, jason watkins

I work on a little ASP.Net-based CMS at work, so I''m definitely interested in a Rails CMS. Why not start a page off wiki.rubyonrails.com?

There''s a lot going on regarding rails-based CMS''es, it''s just they tend to be bigger than average rails apps (and/or pretty domain specific). Therefore we will have to wait for a bit more before such apps start popping on the surface. That said, I''ve been starting to work on one community site and will hopefully get to extract a cms-like system out of it. I won''t, however, build a generic system from scratch because I''ve in a kind of hurry and also believe in David''s/Signals'' mantras of building one feature at the time and extracting, not building frameworks. We''ll see how that will end up. I also know that Sascha Ebach has been working on a rails based CMS. Dunno how far he''s got with it so far. A wiki page doesn''t indeed sound like a bad idea. Keep us posted if you put up something. //jarkko -- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://odesign.fi _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Now I am working on SimplePages (The easiest CMS of the world), or at least it should be. Expect something to come of it in the next weeks. I have great plans for it, but I am trying to get a first working version out the door asap. Work on the other more generic Magical Content Management Solution is paused. Sascha
