[ANN] Skyline CMS Release 3.0.7

[Flurin Egger]

Hi All,

We're proud to announce our first official Skyline CMS release.
Version 3.0.7 is the first stable open source release. It has only
been 6 months since the first (internal) release of Skyline 3. Skyline
3 has been a huge step for us as a company, but also for the product
itself. Skyline 3 features:

* Full page editing
Create, edit and manage pages the way you want it: place elements
(sections), move them around freely, change their appearance and
preview them. Rinse and repeat until you're happy with the result. You
are never editing the live site!

* Publishing
Publish your changes once you're happy with their preview. If you
accidentally publish something you didn't want to have online, just
view the version history and roll back your latest change.

* Work together without conflicts
You never have to worry that someone else might be changing the page
you're working on. Skyline knows who's editing which page and displays
it in preview-mode if someone else is editing it. Because we don't
live in a perfect world, you can still force a take-over (your
colleague may be in an hour long meeting and you really need to change
the info on the website).

* Aggregate content with tagging
Say your website has news items and you want some news items to
automatically appear on the homepage, and have all news items on your
dedicated news page. Skyline has a "Content Library" where you can
store content that you want to have aggregated somewhere else. In
addition to the sections you can place on a page, content in the
library can also have all kinds of metadata like a date, a teaser text
or a custom image. But most important of all: you can tag your content
items. When you're placing a list of content on a page, you can select
the tags you want to match and only those items will be shown.

* Media library
Store all your website's assets in a central place. You have access to
the same library, whether you're editing a paragraph or you're
selecting a default image for your news items: the images, videos or
other files all come from the Media Library.
