Nanabox - web engine powered by Django

Hello, everyone!

Today the very first development version v0.0.1 of nanabox was released public:
http://github.com/rudyryk/nanabox/tree/master

Project home page:
http://nana.05bit.com

Nanabox is simple web engine powered by Django. Basically, it's a wiki, but just a bit more :)



Key concepts:
  • pages are structured in 'tree': each page can have one parent

  • 'theming' is one of core feature, design matters

  • engine is multilingual by nature: even English is just a 'translation' for abstract 'string-IDs'

  • based on proven and possibly best technologies: Django framework, Markdown markup and some very nice 3rd party libs, that's no use to reinvent strange bicycles


About 1/2 of core features are currently ready:
  • pages creation, editing

  • basic authentication (no registration)

  • wiki-markup (Markdown)

  • pages versioning basics

  • theme engine basics and development workflow

  • translation basics and workflow

  • wiki-macros system


Short-range development plans:
  • wiki-links and extra wiki-macros

  • permissions and users registration

  • attachments

  • site-map, structure editing

  • tags

  • language switching


Let's rock :)
