Nameless CMS

Well, as you all know, the CMS is actively running on FIUSM.com, but we have yet to release a distributable version that people can actually use! Why?

Ruby on Rails is going through some very dramatic changes.  A few months ago, it was announced that Merb and Rails would be merging to form Rails 3. This was absolutely fantastic news. The changes that are coming in Rails 3 will finally make the Rails internals the way they were supposed to be, organized.

Nameless CMS will heavily depend on these new Rails 3 features for it to become the product that we’d like it to be.  What that means is, we are waiting until the release of Rails 3 (or at beta version of it) before we can release a distributable version of Nameless CMS.

However, you will be able to preview the development of Nameless when we launch the new repository just for the CMS.  This is where we’ll start extracting the stuff inside of FIUSM.com into it’s own standalone CMS.

I’ll also be releasing architecture details in the coming weeks to give you a preview of what you can expect out of the project, and how you’ll be able to use the CMS from just using it as a plain news website to completely customizing it using the planned extensive API.

Stay tuned! A lot of exciting things are coming.
