CAM-II CMS

CMS Project, CAM-II CMS

This is the official kick-off post for the CAM-II CMS project.  The project home can be found at http://camiicms.riaforge.org.

CAM-II (ColdFusion, AJAX, Mach-II) CMS, as I mentioned in my previous posting, is my open source CMS project.  As I begin building the foundation for the app I would like to share my ideas and solicite the community's.  Before begining any big project I generally like to get all my ideas down on paper, or in a MindMap as the case may be.  So to kick things off, here are the beginings of my ideas.

CAM-II CMS MindMap

CAM-II CMS MindMap

Below is a breakdown of the above MindMap.

  • Blog
    • A full featured blog, complete with voting, comments and RSS
  • Themes
    • CMS will be completely themeable and will include a few themes bundled in the release
  • Custom Page
    • Will give the administrator(s) the ability to add pages at will.  These will be static pages, editable by the administrator(s) and anyone with the correct rights
  • Plugins / Modules (examples listed are in the MindMap)
    • This will be the primary method of adding features and widgets to the CMS.
    • Plugins / Modules will be created by the community and users alike
    • A complete API and documentation will be published
  • Powerful Admin Tool
    • One thing that I have always found lacking in the majority of CMS applications is an intuitive, clean, and clear admin tool
    • More about this will be discussed as the project progresses

Again, I would like to solicite any ideas that you might have for this project.  If you would like to get involved and contribute please let me know via the contact form on this blog or the project home on riaforge.

I was just curious if this project ever got off the ground? It seems very cool.

Sadly, no. I just didn't have the time or the help to really give the project the attention it needed.
