Cotonti combines the flexibility of a web framework with the rapid deployability and featureset of a content management system. Despite having features such as user accounts, content creation, file management and community tools out of the box, it can be easily extended using modules or plugins. Cotonti is powered by its own template engine which is both fast and easy to learn, even if you are not an experienced programmer.

What's new:
Cotonti Team and Community wishes you all the best in the New Year 2012. We have prepared some presents which could be useful for you in the upcoming year:
And guess what? TPL Tags Repository is back online, supporting both Siena and Genoa branches simultaneously!
2012 is going to be a great year for Cotonti project: it will reach v1.0.0, grow stability, documentation, the number of long awaited extensions and new themes. Let it be a great year for you too!
We continue improving Siena branch on our way to 1.0.0 release. What's new in 0.9.6:
For more information please visit Release notes.
You might notice that we had a poll a while ago to pick the best name for 1.0.x branch. The name of Valencia has been the most popular. However, at Cotonti Team we decided to continue using Siena as the name for 1.0.x branch for 2 obvious reasons: a) 1.0.x is fully compatible with 0.9.x; b) rebranding is quite an expensive thing. So we will use those wonderful names of Avila and Valencia later when it is really time for a new branch name.
Another message from Cotonti headquarters: the developers have shifted their focus from development of new features to stabilization of Siena code, improvements in extension repository and documentation writing. Your input in this direction is highly appreciated.
Did you know that a GUI tool for generating Cotonti extensions from templates and converting plugins from Genoa to Siena exists? Now you do. The program is available in English and Russian and has some powerful wizards which will automate some tasks for extension developers and experimenters.
System requirements: Microsoft Windows, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.
Download: from developer's site.
Both stable and testing branches have been updated recently. What's new in Siena 0.9.5:
Genoa 0.6.20 just reverts page_text field back to non-mandatory status and... brings CoTemplate 2.6.3 from Siena branch. Enjoy!
Plugin conversion campaign results are now available.
As Siena is now just a few releases from stable 1.0.0, the big announcement of 1.x to 2.0 Roadmap is expected soon. Stay tuned!
