[Webeditor-development] Alive and kicking...?

[Kjetil K. <kj...@kj...>]

Hi there!

I'm looking for a good CMS to build on, and webEditor looks like an 
interesting project. In fact, it looks like the most interesting 
project I've found. But how is everything going? I have found that it 
has been a while since the last message to this list, and the CVS 
doesn't seem to see a lot of changes lately either, and I couldn't get 
the Demo site running... So, that is a bit of a concern. I'm not a 
wizard myself, so I'm a quite dependent on a community, though I can 
contribute something. :-)

To tell a bit about my project: I'm going to develop the site of 
Norwegian Skeptics. I've been doing it on my spare time for years. Now, 
I'm doing it full time, but only for a short while.

What I have in mind is a system that allows both to have quite a lot of 
static content, in the form of illustrated articles, and even books, 
but also a more weblog or /.-type system. In the weblog, I imagine 
posting simple posts that only links to a news story elsewhere, but 
also more extensive news articles, and finally, announcements of the 
static content. Comments and discussion is to be available for all 
categories. Configuration options should be available to registered 
users which allows them to decide how the different categories would 
appear.  

I did some work with Postnuke in a previous project (it wasn't my 
choice), and one thing I learnt in the previous project was that the 
logic-content-style separation that Cocoon insists on is a necessity, 
not only "nice". From WPD :-) it seems like you guys have been thinking 
carefully about this too. 

It seems like webEditor has similar goals, so if it is in active 
development, how do you think my needs would fit with webEditor? How 
far have you got to for example support comments appearing with 
stories? 

Best,

Kjetil
