Locomotive is a simple but powerful CMS based on liquid templates and mongodb database. At my company ("NoCoffee":http://www.nocoffee.fr), we use it for our clients when they request a simple website.
We already developed a fully functional prototype in Rails 2.3.2 with both active record / mongomapper and it worked quite well. We are even using it for some client websites.
Now, our goal is to port our prototype to Rails 3 and migrate from mongomapper to mongoid. Besides, we put a lot of efforts to make it as robust as we can by writing better specs than we wrote for the prototype at first.

Locomotive CMS is an open source project, we encourage contributions. If you have found a bug and want to contribute a fix, or have a new feature you would like to add, follow the steps below to get your patch into the project:
* Install ruby and mongoDB
* Clone the project <code>git clone git@github.com:locomotivecms/engine.git</code>
* Setup a virtual host entry for <code>test.example.com</code> to point to localhost
For new features (especially large ones) it is best to create a topic on the "Google group":https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/locomotivecms first to make sure it fits into the goals of the project.
