CMS Design Ideas

Post by Zallus »

I'm creating Yet Another Web-CMS (really as a learning experience). I've rewritten it five times now, and I'm pretty happy with how I'm doing right now. I think I have a pretty standard set-up for it, but it's by no means complete (read: I don't want to code modules until this weekend). I'm just wondering what you could suggest (backend functionality only) to add to this.
The project is online at http://z0.ca/~zallus/current/ . The server is a 120MHz box running Slack 9.0, so don't assume it's my coding causing the latency.

It is hard to make suggestions since you didn't tell us about the backend architecture.

One thing that is always cool and usefull in a CMS is group permissions.

You may want to have an editorial process to allow some content to have to be approved by members of a certain group.

Also, you might want to think twice about calling your project "parrot". That is a pretty major project already:
