Here's a real world example: I'm on the board of the Asheville Choral Society, http://www.ashevillechoralsociety.org . Like most non-profits, we're short of money and as the only software geek on the board, I end up donating a fair amount of time (that I'd much rather spend rehearsing the music) to routine maintenance of the group's legacy website (PHP, mysql, cpanel ...).
There is a CMS of sorts for non-techie users, but it's badly implemented and I frequently have to go underneath it to straighten out a mess that someone has made trying to use it. I'd love to be able to make this site more maintainable by replicating it in web2py on a $10/month RackSpace virtual system. It's not a high traffic site but it does need to be responsive, attractive and useful to our members and concert-goers. For a site like this, the CMS feature that's needed most is to make it dead simple for others to edit text and insert images for upcoming concerts and have it come out in fonts and colors that are consistent throughout the site and without messing up things that should be centralized in the db (e.g. concert dates, ticket prices, soloist bios, etc.) On Nov 4, 1:38 pm, Massimo Di Pierro <massimo.dipie...@gmail.com> wrote: > perhaps we should make a list of desired features. >
