Created by `Stephen McDonald `_



========

Overview

========



Mezzanine is a powerful, consistent, and flexible content management

platform. Built using the `Django`_ framework, Mezzanine provides a

simple yet highly extensible architecture that encourages diving in

and hacking on the code. Mezzanine is `BSD licensed`_ and supported by

a diverse and active community.



In some ways, Mezzanine resembles tools such as `Wordpress`_,

providing an intuitive interface for managing pages, blog posts, form

data, store products, and other types of content. But Mezzanine is

also different. Unlike many other platforms that make extensive use of

modules or reusable applications, Mezzanine provides most of its

functionality by default. This approach yields a more integrated and

efficient platform.



Visit the `Mezzanine project page`_ to see some of the `great sites

people have built using Mezzanine`_.

Support

=======



To **report a security issue**, please send an email privately to

`[email protected]`_. This gives us a chance to fix the issue

and create an official release prior to the issue being made public.



For **all other Mezzanine support**, the primary channel is the

`mezzanine-users`_ mailing list. Questions, comments, issues, feature

requests, and all other related discussions should take place here.



If you're **certain** you've come across a bug, then please use the

`GitHub issue tracker`_, however it's crucial that enough information

is provided to reproduce the bug, ideally with a small code sample repo

we can simply fork, run, and see the issue with. Other useful

information includes things such as the Python stack trace generated by

error pages, as well as other aspects of the development environment

used, such as operating system, database, and Python version. If

**you're not sure you've found a reproducible bug**, then please try

the mailing list first.



Finally, feel free to drop by the `#mezzanine IRC channel`_ on

`Freenode`_, for a chat! Lastly, communications in all Mezzanine spaces

are expected to conform to the `Django Code of Conduct`_.



Contributing

============



Mezzanine is an open source project managed using both the Git and

Mercurial version control systems. These repositories are hosted on

both `GitHub`_ and `Bitbucket`_ respectively, so contributing is as

easy as forking the project on either of these sites and committing

back your enhancements.



Donating

========



If you would like to make a donation to continue development of

Mezzanine, you can do so via the `Mezzanine Project`_ website.
