It's good, but it's not a CMS.
- bad_user 17y agoYeah, but I built a CMS with it in 2 days. Everything you need to get it up and running is already built-in (contrib.flatpages, contrib.comments, authentication, admin, I18N), and for more advanced functionalities ... FeinCMS, django-mptt, Pinax, and there are also already built CMSs available. Personally I was blown away when I integrated django-mptt in my project, with a custom admin page from FeinCMS to edit a tree of links. As a warning to newbies ... you have to be a programmer to use it. It's not a clicky-click experience as with Wordpress or Joomla. But it has a clear advantage ... for a developer it's extremely flexible (in contrast, customizing a Drupal website left me with scars :)).
- njharman 17y agoYeah, but it's not a CMS. A CMS does not require programming skill. It doesn't help to point people looking for a CMS at Django. Also, 2days is long time. It's possible to download CMS, configure and install bunch of plugins and snazzy templates and start adding content in hour or two.
