Monsti CMS

==========

Monsti is a CMS designed to host multiple websites or blogs. It is

mainly designed for web projects like personal, small business, or

small NGO websites.

It provides a simple web frontend for basic site building and editing

tasks. More advanced tasks like adding new content types have to be

done by writing modules in Go that communicate to Monsti via RPC

using a high level API.

Monsti should not be considered rock stable. The API and architecture

still might change until the first stable release. But as it's already

in use to host some websites, migrations to new releases will be as

pleasant as possible and fully documented.

If you have a problem, please first have a look at Monsti's manual in

the `doc` directory or

[online](https://github.com/monsti/monsti/blob/master/doc/manual.adoc). Also

have a look at and search the [open

issues](https://github.com/monsti/monsti/issues). If you can't find

any help in the manual or open issues, you might [open a new

issue](https://github.com/monsti/monsti/issues/new) (preferred) or

contact the author: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

Features

--------

 - Fast; thanks to Go, a statically typed compiled language, and

   dependency based caching of pages, queries and calculations. Make

   your websites almost as fast as statically generated ones!

 - Low armortized (i.e. for many hosted sites) resource usage

 - No database system required; configuration and content is stored in

   human readable files. Xapian integration is planned for searching

   and indexing.

 - Internationalization ready (Included languages: de, en, nl).

 - Easy to use (albeit basic at the current stage of development) web

   frontend.

 - Separation of code, configuration and presentation.

 - Developer friendly: Includes a HTTPd; Go templates; high level API

   for node type and field creation and other common tasks.

 - Administrator friendly: Syslog; init script; Makefile target for

   basic Debian packaging (via fpm, other distributions should be

   easy); respecting the filesystem hierarchy
