Flawless Mind

First web server

Today is one of those anniversaries. It’s the day that CERN has chosen to celebrate 20 years since Tim Berners-Lee persuaded his managers to give him the time and funding he needed to explore some little hypertext ideas he’d had. It’s an important day for all of us who read and write on the web, as it’s the foundation of everything we do.

So I cam across the ever daunting dilemma of choosing a CMS for a website, and the questions were:

1. How big is your site? (10 pages)
2. How frequent you want to edit/update the site? (not sure but lets go for weekly)
3. Which parts you want to edit? (everything)

So concluding from the questions I came to this results, I can’t deploy a large scale CMS nor a smaller CMS such as wordpress because the user doesn’t care about archiving the older entries. The user wants off the shelf kind of solution plus such a short time to write custom edit/delete/update backend for all the site.

Now comes EditEase

A very simple jQuery CMS that can be configured and set up in around 2 minutes. Plugging in to your site is a breeze, and can be done at almost any time during the life cycle of development.

Joshua blogged about EditEase and ever so friendly people held him responsible for lack of detailed documentations, which to be honest is not needed its quite straight forward from what I saw so far.

Basically you make your xhtml/css pages every component you want to be editable just attach a specific class for it and make a .inc file with the same name as the class in your include folder and init the script in every page you needed it to be used, everything else is pretty much standard.

I am so impressed with it, that I decided a fork might be needed just my little twist on it, but I will keep you guys updated!
