Wagtail is a new, open-source Django CMS focused on flexibility and user experience. It was originally built for the Royal College of Art, but now we're able to share it with everyone. See<p>https://github.com/torchbox/wagtail<p>and<p>http://wagtail.io (marketing site)<p>and<p>http://www.rca.ac.uk/ (first big site built on Wagtail)<p>We're really proud of the user interface, and we hope that Wagtail will make it easy for Django developers to build beautiful, modern sites. Feedback very welcome!<p>Tom Dyson, Technical Director at Torchbox (Wagtail developers)
I did the whole vagrant setup demo thing - this CMS looks unbelievably nice. Kudos to the design team. Stock Django admin (even with Grappelli) is kinda ugly now.<p>Like others mentioned, a live demo is definitely preferable - not many will go through the vagrant setup.<p>Also there's a bug when trying to view a sample page:<p>'embed_filters' is not a valid tag library<p>But good stuff otherwise!
The first thing I look for on a marketing site for a CMS is the link to the demo, which isn't there.<p>Generally, I think demo videos don't fill this void and this one does a particularly bad job, unless maybe played at half speed.<p>Apart from that, Wagtail looks very interesting and I'll take the time and install the demo app. Thumbs up for choosing Postgres and integrating CoffeeScript and LESS.
Congrats on open sourcing this. It looks great! I'm very pleased to see a Django app where the design hasn't come as an afterthought.<p>I'm just about to test it out but I have a question – how easy is it to to integrate this into an existing project?
Quick tip on the video: I felt it moved a little too quickly. I tried keeping up with the text, and it seemed to get pulled away from me as I was about 2/3rds through each time. At the end I was slightly dizzy :/
Really nice. One question:<p>One feature I always wanted implemented in whatever CMS I was using was the ability to enter, say, a comma-delimited list of page titles, select the parent page and template to use, and have the CMS generate those pages in one go, instead of having the content editors hit the "New page" button fifty times.<p>I used to work for a large medical company, and they're departments always had special requirements, with lists of sub-pages to create for their department. Three hours later (it was a Java-applet-based CMS :( ), I was just about done with creating their pages.
Anyone got a working dockerfile for the demo? Took a stab at it, but it doesn't work :(<p><a href="https://index.docker.io/u/oyvindsk/wagtaildemo-incomplete/" rel="nofollow">https://index.docker.io/u/oyvindsk/wagtaildemo-incomplete/</a><p><a href="https://github.com/oyvindsk/docker-playground/tree/master/dockerfiles/wagtaildemo" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/oyvindsk/docker-playground/tree/master/do...</a>
Seems really good! Are you planning to compare it with other CMS (especially Django-CMS)? I would like to see its performances (with or without varnish).<p>Would you like to add OAuth support or other auth mechanisms like CAS? =) I didn't find documentation for the "WAGTAIL_PASSWORD_MANAGEMENT_ENABLED" option.
Very nice! Thanks for the good work! Will check it out.<p>Feedback: I hope for some good documentation like a starter tutorial and video screencast so more people can understand your CMS and use it.
Would you gents (upstream wagtail guys) be interested if I took a shot at integrating pelican into this? I'd like a static blog and semi dynamic site and <3 django.
