Minimal CMS based on Ruby on Rails 2.3. It uses some plugins I wrote or refactored myself. The CMS provides some base functionality like page creation with attachments, authentication and embedable navigations, and can be extended with FaFa engines (Blog, Forum, etc.). The CMS supports themes while every page can be skinned individually.

• column_scope - as the name says
• action_sequence - design forms with multiple steps
• shadows - presenter pattern made easy
• acts_as_list - fork without the legacy stuff
• categorizable - tagging implementation I like

• Mac OS X 10.5, Apache2 (mod_passenger) and PostgreSQL & SQLite3
• Debian 4.0, Apache2 (mod_passenger) and PostgreSQL

• Developers
• Other

• I don't want to have rmagick everywhere
• I don't want to have JS (frameworks) everywhere
• I don't want to have a global Media Library
• I want to use the latest Rails version
• I want to use solid technologies
• I want it to be fast
• I want to give Ruby Sequel a CMS
• I want to give Fork Unstable Media - TECH a CMS
• actually I want to write something big / a CMS / kill time

You can get the source with:

$ git clone git://github.com/boof/farmfacts.git

Don't forget the submodules:

$ cd farmfacts
$ git submodule update --init
$ rake gems:build

$ cp vendor/rails/railties/configs/databases/sqlite3.yml config/database.yml

# configure your database (replace erbs)
$ $EDITOR config/database.yml
$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate

# the generated session key should only be read by you and your webserver
$ chmod 600 config/session.key

# Configure Apache for Language Negotiation:
# You must allow the virtual server to overwrite options!

# start the webserver and open admin, for example:
$ script/server
$ open http://localhost:3000/admin

# Follow the instructions in your browser...
