Introduction

Based on documents like:

and with a thousand of different websites to create at once, I decided to start a new CMS using the extremely flexible Django's API, keeping the creation for new type of content for the CMS as easy as creating anything in Django. So, assembling many Django's Open Source projects and having an easy to manage the content, instead of the All-In-One Admin interface, I am creating a CMS to manage different websites, as easy as 1-2-3. Of course, it's a really LONG way, but I think it's the best time for me, otherwise I will never be able to create all websites that I have to.

Details

Basically all "contrib" applications that will be included in Kaleidoscope are Open Source projects, so we can concentrate on what we have to do, an easy interface to manage your websites. Based on my personal needs I am planning the following contrib applications:

User management
Webstore
Wiki
Forum
Blog
Brain-storming
News
Cookbook
Highlights

Feel free to suggest anything else.

The CMS will be based on the following needs:

Interface to publish commom content
Interface to change page layout
Interface to create the navigation bar

All content will respect Django's Site model, so you can manage many Web sites at once.
