I've used DokuWiki as a CMS for several website projects. The default theme is no great shakes, but you can theme it to look like anything and there are hundreds of plugins. I think the syntax it uses is much friendlier than that used by Mediapress. http://dokuwiki.org/ I've also been curious about Octopress. Nominally a blogging layer for Jekyll, with the new version I think it can probably work as a CMS. It uses Markdown as the syntax. http://octopress.org/ On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 11:22 AM, Wilhelmina Randtke <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Has anyone worked with file based CMSes,and do you have a recommendation > for one with simple backend? > > One of the issues with the CMS is that databases don't make sense to people > without background in them.
