Hi, after more than 2 years of hard/heavy work we are really pleased to announce the first public beta release of BEdita 3 (pronounced [bi'εdita]), a semantic content management framework that uses jQuery. http://www.bedita.com http://www.bedita.com/beopen [our website is still work in progress, some english translations still missing...sorry]
BEdita is not a real CMS (in fact it's a framework), but aims to be a standard Web2/3 publishing platform...there are really a lot of things that I could tell you about the project (which is really big and ambitious)... but I don't want to bother you.. so I stop here ;-) We just want to thank the jQuery developers and community for such a great tool! Thank you, really. Here a brief list of technologies and features for the curious. We would like to hear comments/suggestions from you. Requirements * PHP >= 5.2, Mysql >= 5.0.26 (stored procedures and views), Apache2, shell access Third party components/libraries (bundled) * CakePHP >= 1.2 * Smarty >= 2.6 * JQuery >= 1.2 * phpThumb, TinyMCE,... Licensing * Affero GPL v3 * Commercial/proprietary Key Features * powerful/advanced backend web application to create/handle contents, with some innovative UI design ideas; * frontend API to easily build your own frontend applications (backend and frontends are different applications) * object oriented design: every type of content (documents, news, events, videos, images, newsletters, vcards,...) is an object that can be tagged, commented, published, categorized.... * modular design: specific software modules for different tasks and content types (multimedia, events, news, administration, publishing, addressbook, newsletter,...) * complete internationalization: user interface & contents, specialized module for translators * ability to create "free semantic relations" between contents * every object has a unique "nickname" (friendly URLs and friendly name to access each resource) * native XML/REST interface * and many others... bye Alberto Pagliarini (aka bato) --- Channelweb srl http://www.channelweb.it
