So Halo2 has been releasing a number of teasers ... so I thought I would do my own.
The CMS community have developed and shared a huge number of useful components ... but would it be great if there was a proven / production quality / rich functionality solution site that addressed the vast majority of peoples requirements out of the box and provided a framework that enabled extensibility.
Such a site should have ...
a Page Rendering Framework for CMS templates that liberates functionality from design constraints ... wouldn't it be cool if CMS templates could be developed by business people using InfoPath rather than needing developers with Visual Studio
Numerous standard User Controls
Site output controlled by XML and XSLT
Base Templates
Easily skinnable
Completely driven by flexible configuration
Rich Metadata support ... simple customisation for any required taxonomy, support for standards like eGov, database lookups, richer authoring, extensible with new property types
A to Z ... thesaurus support, support for common misspellings, alternative navigation
Navigation ... complete range of flexible controls, site maps, classic & taxonomy based navigation, driven by XSLT and a set of samples such as the Microsoft flymenus and Javascript popup menus
Eforms functionality ... enabling customer contact, message routing, SMTP and BizTalk support, extensible Form elements such as selection boxes, multi-text fields, populate lists from SQL Stored Procedures
Extensions to Web Author menu - such as reports, site settings
Deployed using the Windows installer
Comprehensive developer documentationa
All ready proven in numerous high profile sites.
Sounds a lots better than Woodgrove doesn't it ?
Wouldn't it be nice ?
Wouldn't it be nice if this was completely free, supported and the full source code was available ??
Wouldn't it be nice if this could be delivered as soon as next month ??
