I am pleased to announce that Radiant CMS is now publically available
from the Subversion repository at:
http://radiantcms.org/
What is Radiant?
----------------
Radiant is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed
for small teams. It is similar to Textpattern or MovableType, but is a
general purpose content management system (not a blogging engine).
Radiant features:
* An elegant user interface
* Flexible templating with layouts, snippets, page parts, and a custom
tagging language (Radius - http://radius.rubyforge.org)
* Extensible with special page-oriented plugins called behaviors
* Support for Markdown and Textile as well as traditional HTML (it''s
easy to create other filters)
* A Simple user management/rights system
* Operates in two modes: dev and production - depending on the URL
* A caching system which expires pages every 5 minutes
* Built using Ruby on Rails (which means that extending Radiant is as
easy as creating a new controller)
* Radiant is licensed under the MIT-LICENSE.
* And much more...
Radiant is the content management system that will eventually power
Ruby-Lang.org (yes we are nearing completion on the project!). With this
in mind I would really appreciate it if a few of you could kick the
tires hard and make sure that Radiant is ready to go for Ruby-Lang.
Please! Download Radiant from the Subversion repository and get this
puppy on the road.

Looks like a great start. The project has a nice, intuitive interface.

Again thanks! and more power!Things are setup so that it checks out Rails 1.1.2. I''m personally using MySQL (various versions), but you should be able to make it run with other databases. I just checked the MySQL schema in: http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/trunk/radiant/db/development_structure.sql At the bare minimum you will need to create an Admin user after creating the table structure. Have a look at db/setup.rb and use script/console to create the user. I am curious to know how it runs on postgres (and other databases for that matter). If patches are needed please don''t hesitate to create a ticket in Trac and submit one. -- John Long http://wiseheartdesign.com/

I posted a patch to fix a couple of boolean mysql''isms that stopped it on postgresql. It was just to small changes. Otherwise it seems to run fine and the migrations work setting up the admin account. I really like it so far and am thinking using it for the lab I work in new site.

Hi, This is very good. I teach programming and I have been using wikis to deliver my course content. But, wikis are not really a good fit and Radiant has the potential to be better. However, I would need to have your second generation of roles and your planned versioning for this to work for me. This would be very important to me and I would like to join the effort if possible. First, is the mailing list functional yet? I have signed up for it but have not received confirmation. Next, where should I look at applying some effort? Thanks for this! -Eric On 5/1/06, John W.

It sounds like you''ve read permissions.txt in the root directory.

Looking good - although I see you''ve borrowed my idea of snippets ;) I might have to borrow your idea of layouts for substruct. Nice UI. I''ll keep an eye on this one. - seth @ subimage -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
