CMS in go?

[Mathieu Lonjaret]

Hello go fans,

Has anyone started working on a CMS (similar to drupal or plone) written in go?

Cheers,
Mathieu

If anybody is going to start with it, then you have in mind the next
one.

Django/RoR focus on the problem of making a page and defining a
datamodel. In change, Zotonic's [1] take on a hybrid CMS/framework
makes it easier to build web sites quickly and have modules which can
be deployed in many websites.

Zotonic didn't want to reinvent the datamodel for every project, as
they want to be able to share the data between sites. So they made a
generic simple datamodel which modules can extend with their own data
or functionality.
It has very well designed from scratch to be flexible and it's easy to
extend. A Zotonic module [1] has subdirectories for templates,
actions, scomps, dispatch rules and more.

Just as a matter of accuracy, Ruby on Rails isn't a CMS, it's a web application framework that can be used (amongst other things) to build a CMS. Examples of a RoR-based CMS would be Radiant or Mephisto.

Yes, I know ;) but it was an opportunity to talk about zotonic since
that it's a CMS/framework hybrid and since that web developers always
compare other web framework to those 2 more known (Django/RoR).

Tut tut... pushing Erlang for Erlang's sake... you'd never find a Rubyist indulging in that sort of thing ;)
