Open Source CMS Daisy 1.2 released
Adding onto the Valentine's Day festivities, Outerthought released Daisy 1.2. Daisy is an Open Source content management system, composed of a standalone, ReST-accessible repository server, and a powerful Wiki-on-steroids editing and publishing application.
New in this release are:
In the Daisy Wiki:
* an easy-to-use graphical site navigation tree editor to define site hierarchies and navigation
* user self-registration with password and account reminder
* a general document commenting facility with public and private comments
* enhanced support for human-readable website URLs
In the repository:
* comprehensive support for arbitrary-sized document parts (or "BLOBs"), with streaming support both on front- and backend (making Daisy capable of hosting media libraries)
* generalized database access layer to easily run Daisy on top of any standards-conforming relational database engine
* improved full-text indexing support for MS Office document formats
And of course, many other minor feature enhancements, issues and performance improvements have been implemented as well.
For the next release (summer 2005), planned features are:
* publish-only website publishing for easy publication of non-editable Daisy sites (using the Wiki as a powerful editing application)
* Daisy Books: management and production of manuals and paper documentation
* more sophisticated repository versioning and querying
* support for facetted classification and navigation using Daisy's metadata support
* furthermore, we expect to upgrade Daisy's internals to reflect the current state of the art in component containers and messaging frameworks
Daisy is available under the Apache License 2.0 from http://cocoondev.org/daisy/, with commercial support services available from http://outerthought.org/daisy.html 15.02.2005, Steven Noels, Outerthought bvba
