Caravel CMS - Open source CMS.

Features:

Caravel is an open source content management system originally designed for the 2,000+ organizations of the Mennonite Church. The project began in December of 2001 and took the unique approach of storing website metadata as LDAP objects, while the actual data is stored in the file system. Using OpenLDAP and Berkeley DB, a hierarchical database, distinguishes Caravel from most other CMS’s, which are typically based on relational databases. This architectural choice was predicated on the ideas that:

1. the LDAP schema was global and hierarchical, and therefore capable of describing every file on every computer in the world,
2. that a hierarchical database was uniquely well-suited to describing a network of websites
3. that OpenLDAP was capable of replication and load-balancing, which lent itself to the project’s scalability goals.
4. that websites interactions were read-mostly, which made a directory an acceptable foundation.
5. that OpenLDAP was tuned for fast reads, which made feasible the possibility of hosting thousands of sites on a single server.

Caravel’s approach to web content management is also focused on universal publishing, adopting a page layout metaphor with WYSIWYG layout tools.

What do you want in a CMS?
Ease of use, good documentation, templating, a great feature set, scalability–these are all things that you look at when you are trying to find a CMS that fits your needs. We are constantly working to make Caravel more intuitive and easier to learn. As part of our commitment to this we have put a good deal of effort into keeping our documentation up to date and as simple as possible. You can check out our handbook or go to the Caravel wiki.

Ease of Use
In an effort to make Caravel easier to use all of our layout tools are drag and drop. Want to increase the width of your leftmost column? Easy, just click and drag. Want to move that html document to a better location? Just click, drag, and drop it off wherever you want it to be. It’s just that simple. And best of all, it’s done with Ajax so you don’t have to wait for your page to reload each time you change something; it’s all done behind the scenes.

Designing your look - and sharing it
Caravel also features a robust templating system which allows you to totally control the look and feel of your site. Whether you are interested in creating a standard three column layout or the new big trend in layouts, Caravel makes it possible. In the next release of Caravel, it will be possible to save these templates and share them with your friends, or post them on this site.

Adding function to your design
What will make your site unique and different from others are the features you use and how you use them. Caravel offers many different features which you can use to make your site more dynamic. Here are just a few of them. For a larger list and explanation of these features go to here.

RSS Reader and Feed Managment/Creation tools - Syndication has become one of the most important tools in the webmasters repertoire.

Navigation - There are hundreds of different ways to navigate across a website. Caravel’s Navigator application gives you multiple styles of navigation and lets you further customize them using CSS.

Blogging Capability - Using our unique FolderViewer, you can easily set up and manage a blog. You can also create an RSS feed based off this blog.

Formbuilder Tool - Online forms can be very time consuming and tedious to set up on a standard website. Caravel’s formbuilder allows someone who is not familiar with HTML at all to set up a form and have its data emailed to wherever you choose. Even better, it has the capability of storing this data directly into a database.

E-Commerce - Caravel’s E-Commerce tools are currently in Beta. It supports a simple item database or event sign-up. There are currently plug-ins for both Authorize.net and PayPal.

Features:

Blog:CMS (formerly Nucleus XE) is a content management system written in PHP with a MySQL database. It attempts to integrate several open-source projects into a forked version of Nucleus CMS, including DokuWiki, PunBB, and an image gallery, using modifications written by its primary developer, Radek Hulán. The project is generally considered a “pre-modded version” of Nucleus CMS than a full product in its own right. The Blog:CMS home page claims that it is used on thousands of websites worldwide.

Hulán started the project after several debates with the rest of the Nucleus CMS development team centering around the revocation of his CVS due to some suspicious changes to the code. Blog:CMS has suffered from some prominent public relations issues centering around Hulán’s attitude toward support requests, and many users have reported significant bugs. A project called Blog:Hack:CMS exists to convert Blog:CMS blogs to Nucleus CMS.

Blog:CMS is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.

An overview of the most important BLOG:CMS features is given below.

BLOG:CMS is probably the only system that is not only w3c valid, but also ships with application/xhtml+xml MIME type by default, for top performance on modern browsers like Mozilla, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
