Bar none, the best content management system I've used so far for any platform.

Here's a good talk on it

I'm looking forward to using and extending this app

Author should actually be BrowserMedia (url = http://www.browsermedia.com), rather than BrowserCMS.com (which is the previous generation J2EE version of the product).

Thanks for the correction. Has been fixed

This is not an open source product. I'm not sure why it is listed here.

#5 Johann posted 7 months ago.

Michael: you may be referring to the J2EE version - which is not open source. But the new Rails version is open source. And I must say, it is quite good.

BrowserCMS Details

BrowserCMS is intended to offer features comparable to commercial CMS products, which can support larger teams of editors. This means having a robust set of features as part of its core, as well as the capability to customize it via modules.

Here's a quick overview of some of the more notable features:

* It's just Rails: Each CMS project is a rails project that depends on the BrowserCMS gem. Developers can add new controllers, views, etc; just like any rails project.
* Direct in context editing: Users can browse their site to locate content and change it right on the page itself.
* Design friendly Templates: Pages aren't just a template and giant single chunk of HTML. Templates can be built to have multiple editable areas, to allow for rich designs that are still easy to manage by non-technical users.
* Sitemap: An explorer/finder style view of sections and pages in a site allowing users to add and organize pages.
* Content Library: Provides a standardized 'CRUD' interface to allow users to manage both core and custom content types.
* Content API: A set of behaviors added to ActiveRecord which allow for versioning, auditing, tagging and other content services provided by the CMS.
* Section Based Security: Admins can control which users can access specific sections (public users), as well as who can edit which pages (cms users).
* Workflow: Supports larger website teams where some users can contribute, but not publish. Users can assign work to other publishers to review.
* Page Caching: Full page caching allows the web server (Apache) to serve HTML statically when they don't change.
