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:
|
|
|
|
* managing as many websites as you want with one application instance
|
|
* nice looking UI (see http://www.locomotivecms.com for some screenshots)
|
|
* flexible content types
|
|
* playing smoothly with Heroku and MongoHQ
|
|
* inline editing (beta)
|
|
|
|
h2. Strategy / Development status
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
h2. Gems

|
|
|
Here is a short list of main gems used in the application.
