myWebEngine
warning !
Please note that myWebEngine is no longer in developement...
What is myWebEngine?
myWebEngine is what is called a Content Management System, or in other words a tool allowing to manage contents, and present them online. myWebEngine will be Free Software and will be released under the GNU/GPL license. Its features and development choices make myWebEngine a tool dedicated to users with a small PHP knowledge at least (so far).
What can I do with it?
myWebEngine basically allows you to create a website, and manage it easily. You will find inside it an administration (back-end) and a generator (frontend). It includes a lot of features, such as : several languages support, several administration levels, PHP-based templates system, XHTML compliant, statistics, and some modules like a news managment system, or a newsletter system... (check out screenshots below) It uses mod_rewrite to be listed properly in search engines.
What does it make is so unique?
myWebEngine is not like classical CMS such as PHPNuke & co. It is conceived to be fast and robust. It makes it more complicated to set up, but it is far more powerful and flexible. Forget the usual CMS layouts, which look like a news system with loads of boxes on the sides; myWebEngine is a pure CMS in a sense that you can build pages from whatever you want. There is a strong emphasis on design and layout to be able to suit any kind of site.
Where can I get it?
myWebEngine is so far not released, but still stable enough to be used in a few websites already, including this one. I am always working on it, and I am now using a second version, far more powerful and flexible (url rewriting, template decomposition...).
I will add more stuff in this section when I will be able to release myWebEngine as a package. So far, there is no help written down, which makes its use quite complicated. I am working on it. :)
