I''ve been using Rails for many years, but it''s been primarily for building custom applications and hosting small sites with less than ten pages. I''m interested in learning a CMS to start building more content-heavy sites. The last time I looked at Rails CMSs was years ago. Does Radiant still have the largest developer community? How does it compare to PHP-based CMSs like Wordpress? Does anyone use Rails for custom app development but Wordpress as a general site hosting solution? I''m hesitant to devote a lot of time to learning and extending a Rails CMS given that Wordpress is so ubiquitous and has such a large developer community behind it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The second one on the list, Browser CMS has a conference presentation you can watch to get a better feel http://aac2009.confreaks.com/07-feb-2009-10-00-browsercms-patrick-peak-and-paul-barry.html The third one on the list, Refinery CMS, has a short video overview. Their site is pretty slick, and presumably uses their CMS. Quite a few have example sites, but some aren''t Rails, so if that is important to you, be sure to look for it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
