2018 Re-Focus

[nelsonic]

We have not had the time to focus on this project for the last couple of years
because we have been working on many other things. ⏳
We have delivered several content-based web apps/sites to clients using other CMSs
to varying degrees of success. (the clients have been "happy". I have been screaming inside!)

We have negotiated a golden ticket with one of our valued clients to re-think CMS
for a project.

Todo

• Remove "dead" (old/unused) code. (we are splitting out the functionality into independently tested sub-modules) - thank you to all who contributed to the original "alpha". ❤️ ✅
• Focus on defining data types using fields: https://github.com/dwyl/fields 📝
• Use append-only log combined with a "column-oriented DBMS" to store data in PostgreSQL so that any field/data can easily be compared and if necessary, "rolled back" with a single click.
• Automatically render content creation forms based on the defined fields in that content type.
• Focus on UX of content creation.
