Cotonti сочетает гибкость веб-фреймворка с быстрым развертыванием и компонентами системы управления содержимым. Несмотря на то, что в нем «из коробки» есть учётные записи, создание контента, управление файлами и инструментарий для сообществ, он может быть легко расширен с помощью модулей и плагинов. У Cotonti есть свой шаблонизатор, быстрый и легкий в освоении, даже если вы не программист.

И стабильная, и тестовая ветка были недавно обновлены. Что нового в Siena 0.9.5:
Релиз Genoa 0.6.20 просто откатывает статус поля page_text до необязательного и... содержит CoTemplate 2.6.3 из ветки Siena. Приятной верстки!
Результаты кампании по конвертированию плагинов доступны.
Поскольку Сиену теперь от стабильной версии 1.0.0 разделяет всего несколько релизов, вскоре ожидается большой анонс дорожной карты от 1.x до 2.x. Будьте на связи!
Команда Cotonti с гордостью представляет вашему вниманию внушительное обновление ветки Siena. Наиболее важные изменения включают:
К этому моменту мы реализовали все значительные возможности, которые изначально планировались к релизу 1.0. Это означает, что значительных изменений или изменений в API в ветке 0.9.x больше не предусмотрено. Начиная с 0.9.5, все изменения направлены повышение на стабильности, юзабилити и производительности. Это также означает, что разработчики плагинов и тем могут спокойно делать своё дело, не беспокоясь о предстоящих обновлениях: их плагины и темы будут работать неизменно даже в Cotonti 1.0.x.

Вам по-прежнему не хватает любимых плагинов из Cotonti Genoa / Seditio / LDU в Cotonti Siena? Выше нос! Пойдите и добавьте его в наш Genoa to Siena Wishlist. Если этой функциональности в Siena ещё нет, то он будет участвовать в данной кампании. Вы можете также сделать пожертвование, чтобы поддержать эту кампанию.
Вы разработчик плагинов? Помогите нам конвертировать эти плагины и заработайте! Мы заплатим вам $5-15 за каждый сконвертированный плагин из той темы (если он подтверждён как полезный и не дублирующий) и даже за каждый плагин, которого нет в списке, но который полезен в Cotonti Siena. Процедура проста: выберите плагин из темы Wishlist, сообщите о том, что вы конвертируете этот плагин. Когда он будет готов, добавьте ссылку на результат. Если человек, который запрашивал плагин, подтвердит, что всё работает, то вы получите деньги после завершения всей кампании. Конкретная сумма ($5, $10 или $15) зависит от сложности плагина. Чем больше плагинов вы конвертируете, тем больше денег получите в конце кампании.
Кампания уже началась, разработчики, которые уже конвертировали плагины из той темы получат за них деньги! Все конвертации должны быть завершены и подтверждены до 15-го сентября.
Если вам нужна информация о процедуре конвертирования, прочитайте это руководство.
I'm glad to inform you that Cotonti Team has just moved the Development area of the project to GitHub, the next generation project hosting and social coding platform.
What benefits does it give to the Cotonti community? Here they are:
What about the old good Trac and SVN? They will stay online in read-only mode for several months more to let the people grab necessary stuff from there if needed.
Another reason to move plugin/module development to separate Git repositories is that when the Cotonti Extension Center will be launched, it will use public Git information to provide automatic packaging, updates and extension listing.
We wish you enjoy Summertime. To make it even better give a new Cotonti Siena 0.9.3 release a try. What's new:
For more information please visit the release page.
Important notice for developers and contributors: we are moving the repository and project management to Github. Please inform us of your Github account as soon as possible!
This site has been moved to a faster server. Google Site Performance analyzer says it now loads faster than 95% of sites on the web. Nice results reinforced by Siena's JS/CSS consolidator tool.
Oh, the updates! Genoa site owners should update their sites to 0.6.17, the patch is really small but won't hurt applying. Siena enthusiasts, head to 0.9.2 - this is a bugfixing update, but a very important one. We apologize for 0.9.1 which had some bugs which made it harder to use than 0.9.0, so we have solved those problems in 0.9.2 and you can have more fun with Siena now!
Community updates include our new Twitter page. Besides the official announcements it also tracks links to useful articles, so follow us there! Another important thing is that we are going to launch a plugin conversion campaign soon and so far we have opened a Wishlist for future conversions.
The following month probably won't bring many major features to the engine, but we plan several helpful community actions, including rewards for support, relaunch of donations and of course the plugin conversion campaign.
Today, April 12 2011 from 20:00 to 23:00 GMT the site/Trac/SVN may be unavailable for some time due to server upgrade. If you encounter problems accessing the site, please try again some 15 minutes later.
Update: the site was unavailable from 08:00 to 18:00 GMT due to unpredicted problems with the server. Sorry for that, we are finally back online.
Thank you for your patience!
The biggest major Cotonti release ever is finally available. Here are some figures to realize the scale of the work wich has been done since the beginning of Siena branch:
We have done our best to deliver you a modern Content Management System and a powerful Content Management Framework. The most significant changes are:
For more information please visit Release Notes page.
As you can see, the status of the 0.9 branch is currently "testing". It means that it is not yet recommended for large production sites, but is fine for smaller ones, for new projects or to start using the new system to migrate in future. The 0.6 branch has the "stable" status and will be supported at least until 0.9 becomes "stable" and all sites are safe to migrate to it.
Currently the number of plugins available for Siena is limited. The APIs have changed a lot, so a "porting" procedure is required for plugins to work with the new version. We would like to encourage plugin developers to start porting their plugins to Siena. If you don't want to wait you can try running the old plugins with the Genoa compatibility plugin enabled, but this is for your own risk.
I would like to thank all the developers who have contributed during these 20 months, including those who had left our Team before their work was finally adopted. And those who continue supporting us and making our beloved Cotonti system and community better day by day.
Cotonti Development Team is proud to announce you the recent changes in our project roadmap. We have made an important decision about the next major branch which is now called "Union 1.o.O" instead of "Renaissance 1.0.0".
The word "Union" in its name means that the new system is a combination of all features currently present in Cotonti and such popular open source content management systems as WordPress, Joomla, MODx and Drupal. It also means that Cotonti switches its license from BSD to GPLv3. The compatibility is established both on database level and system behavior. For example, you will be able to install Drupal modules and Wordpress plugins and combine them with Joomla templates. Such amazing abilities are made possible by our new revolutionary technology called "Cotonti Site Cloud" which automatically maintains a cloud of different CMS systems and provides the end user an abstract service from all of them.
The "1" in the name means that it will be the CMS №1 in the world, the ultimate CMS. Meanwhile "o.O" stands for "object.ORIENTED", which indicates that the new system has been written from scratch in pure OO. Inspired by Ruby On Rails, Django, Yii and ASP.NET, the new "object.ORIENTED" development framework follows the most modern trends in web development: automatic code generator tool, YAML data model descriptions, visual component editor written in HTML5, AJAX comet client-server communication and lots more.
Will your new Cotonti Unity 1.o.O site work fast still? Yes! The new platform comes with an optimizing binary compiler, which keeps track of machine code being executed on the site and thus creates a binary image of the system originally written in Ruby. Oh, haven't I mentioned that? Yes, the new system is written from scratch in Ruby, except for the actual PHP CMS containers which are kept in the "Cotonti Site Cloud" as they are.
P.S.: if you are still reading, Siena 0.9.0 is finally coming on April 4th. Have a nice beta testing weekend before that!
Surprise! You might not expect it, but we have changed layout of this site. And it is not just layout, we have converted this entire site to the latest beta of Cotonti Siena, reorganized Downloads a bit and there are more changes planned. During the next several days we will be fixing bugs which appear here and there after the site upgrade, tweaking things and converting some plugins to Siena. Then we are going to reorganize the Documentation section and enable content internationalization there. And the brand new core/extension repository will be deployed within next few months.
This is also a good chance for us to fix the last bugs before 0.9.0 final release which is scheduled on 15th. Right now you can update your Genoa site to 0.6.14 or try an hourly beta build of Siena.
