h1. Locomotive CMS
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.
If we have to give only 5 main features to describe our application, there will be:
2010-04-13 14:27:44 +00:00
* managing as many websites as you want with one application instance
2011-01-03 23:14:45 +00:00
* nice looking UI (see http://www.locomotivecms.com for some screenshots)
2010-04-13 14:27:44 +00:00
* flexible content types
* playing smoothly with Heroku and MongoHQ
* inline editing (beta)

h2. Strategy / Development status
2010-04-13 14:29:10 +00:00
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.
2010-04-13 14:27:44 +00:00
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.
h2. Gems
Here is a short list of main gems used in the application.
2011-01-03 23:14:45 +00:00
* Rails 3.0.3
* Mongoid 2.0.0.beta 19 (with MongoDB 1.6)
* Liquid
* Devise
* Carrierwave
* Haml
* Delayed job
2011-01-03 23:14:45 +00:00
* Jammit-s3
