LightCMS
LightCMS has apparently been around since 1999, but I’ve never really noticed it before. It’s a hosted CMS (one you can’t install on your own server or extend) but it’s pitched as a cms for designers. /* déjà vu */
It appears if you needed to extend it, you pay Light to do it. Marketing, assuredly. The designers I know would probably feel pretty constrained with this, and would want to roll their own specializations, but I can’t help be curious if this is the idea behind Textpattern Pro, because honestly, I can’t tell anything about Txp Pro from it’s apparent website. (For that matter, is there still Txp Pro?)
One interesting note for me, the LightCMS website is yet another example of the integrated theme concept that I like so much (the concept, not their design). In case you don’t read in every forum, the concept is that all site interfaces — cms, wiki, forum, et cetera — sport a common theme and lateral navigation, thereby giving a stronger sense of relatedness and improved usability in the total environment.
BTW: Has CamelCasing ProductNames been “The New Black” of the pre-2000 era?
Apparently so. :)

I think this is an important question, because if Txp Pro is still a thing of the living, then shouldn’t it be in the site map where it can then be thought in the whole of things and get some needed content editing?

I’m not involved in TXPpro, if it even exists at all.

Re: LightCMS
Fair enough (and easy to handle). Seems that page should have gone offline “a long time ago,” then.

LOL… I hadn’t noticed the light grey copyright notice at the bottom.

Re: LightCMS
It’s hard to part from an old domain of yours. On the other hand, I refrain from collecting stamps – so what ;-)

Well so much for that. They appear to have just changed their main site design (which isn’t terrible, imso; nice layout of key information and a useful footer.) and not brought their other interfaces inline. The previous design being like what their forum still sports. Maybe it’s just a matter of time they integrate again.
