Help! - What can concrete5 actually do??
Permalink
Feature lists are a challenge. They tend to be interpreted very literally, but in my experience its hard to fully describe a functional idea in a sentence or less. They're like statistics, in that they seem very scientific at a glance but are almost always subject to bias...
That being said - help me make our huge self indulgent one! What do you look for in "keywords" out of a CMS that concrete5 can do? I'll start:
o.. OOP Code following a MVC architecture.
o.. Flexible & granular permission system.
o.. Users & groups.
o.. WYSIWYG editor.
o.. In-Context editing (huge!)
o.. Flexible & powerful template system.
o.. Automatic navigation management
o.. RSS support (in/out)
o.. Versions (pages, and with 5.3 files too!)
o.. Ffffft
- I've already lost interest in doing this. ;) Common gang - list em all out and I'll clean up an uberlist!
thx
