VERSION |
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.locomotiveapp.org for some screenshots) * flexible content types * playing smoothly with Heroku and MongoHQ * inline editing (coming soon) 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. * Rails 3 RC * Mongoid 2.0.0.beta 16 (with MongoDB 1.6) * Liquid * Devise * Carrierwave * Haml h2.
