SilverStripe CMS
I recently came across a new (well new to me) CMS http://www.silverstripe.com, any one have experience of it?
Best wishes

Re: SilverStripe CMS
Not heard of it before, sorry. From outward appearance — the speed of the site and the feature set — it doesn’t look very lightweight.
fwiw, I quite like the image editing thingy, though TXP has plugins that do similar. I find the main page rather cluttered for my liking, and it’s up to you whether the boast about the latest version fixing hundreds of bugs and adding a few new features is a plus or minus point ;-)
*shrug* you pays your money and makes your choice…

If your going to head in that direction I recommend modx.

Re: SilverStripe CMS
Anyone looked at Chyrp , still pretty minimal; but after looking at the level of skill apparent under the hood it shouldn’t stay that way for very long.
Ah, Tumblelogs – that explains a lot.

Re: SilverStripe CMS
Radiant CMS is quite lean too (in a txp way) but I’m not sure how adaptable it is. Looked a bit too simple from my first appraisals. Plus you need rails.
aside: welcome back, steve!

Re: SilverStripe CMS
I think this is the most impressive CMS i’ve seen so far. I’ve looked at other more robust solutions (compared to TXP: Mambo, Drupal, etc) but always came away with the impression they were too much and too confusing. The more I look at Silverstripe the more impressed I am. As someone who works a lot with MVC frameworks in PHP the underlying structure (Sapphire framework) really impresses me. NB: At the moment I have a fast connection / fast CPU – I doubt it could be as light as TXP’s interface but if you are building for the future I would check it out. It’s like if Google made an open-source CMS…
