Description : User Friendly but powerful Content Managment System build in php
SPIP is an open-source, free publication system on the Internet, mainly
targetted at individuals, informal groups and non-profit organizations.
SPIP allows contributive writing and managing of websites having a
magazine-like structure (i.e. articles and short stories contained in nested
sections), while not needing any HTML skills (except for defining the layout
templates).
.
There are two kind of registered users : writers (who can submit
articles and short stories, and comment pending submissions) and
administrators (who validate submissions, manage the site structure
and configuration...). Every task, including installation,
is done through a Web-based, user-friendly interface ; only the writing
of templates needs some technical learning. Writers can use convenient
typographic and presentation shortcuts in their texts so as to make
them ready to publish without any particular computer skills. The public
part of the site as well as the back-office include a forum system to add
comments to articles and short stories. A two-level cache system in the
public site keeps the amount of resources used on the server very low.
A lightweight fulltext indexation and search engine is also integrated,
which incurs no noticeable slowdown when enabled.
.
Now for the annoying point : SPIP is in French. This doesn't prevent you
from building sites in other languages, as your public site is entirely
defined in the templates, but you still have to understand the documentation
and the back-office interface....
