David, mine will be. But it is gonna take me a while, cause there is always some project work which is keeping me from working on mcms. MCMS which stands for Magical Content Management Solution will have this and more: (Quoted from my introduction mail on the rails list) ROADMAP ======= * Unique concentration on usability, web standards and accessibility * Contentrepository as a tree, so you will be able easily extend the functionality of a corporate website to a blog with comments, a forum, a shop, a whatever. Something along the lines of ezpublish and drupal. (This is rather ambitious, I know, and it is not the simplest thing that could possibly work, anyway, I am gonna try it) * Versioning * WYSIWYG editing (with FCKEditor, which I find amazing) * different views and the administration, so new users and powerusers can feel at home * Maybe even edit-in-place, like you can see in Bitflux CMS, or LIMB. But I am uncertain about that as I think edit in place is not always the most generally applicable solution, esp. if you wanna have a cms which handles * multiple diffrent websites under one adminstration * media repository * make it possible to turn it in a hostable solution (this one will probably by closed source) * lots of other things Now, don't even dare to ask me when it will be ready or usable. It could be 2 months or 2 years. For example, I couldn't work on it for almost 3 weeks cause of project work. I wouldn't wonder if somebody would release something ahead of me... Sascha Ebach
