New website, cms roundup, mk1

Hello List,

  As requested by Dennis, i am writing with a short description of what
Travelsized CMS can do:

It can let you edit the site online, in different languages
It does not require a database (some of the reason for the name)
It has an extremely simple theming system, based around placeholders (so that
  you are not tied to one type of layout or another - all you need is
  somewhere to place the page content)
It is used in a number of places already, some of which are listed on the
  website: http://leinir.dk/travelsized/

Heya,
 
The CMS sounds and looks nice.
 
A few other requirements:
1. Is there a nice way of adding NEWS items ?
2. Is it possible to easily manage screenshots.
 
Cheers,
Dennis

  Thanks! :)

  There is indeed - the blogging module takes care of news items as well :)

> 2. Is it possible to easily manage screenshots.

  The gallery is designed to do that, both the Ark Linux site and
Travelsized's own website use that :)

I looked at the Ark Linux site using Internet Explorer and I noticed that it renders quite borked.
Is this a problem with Ark Linux their website or with Travelsized ? I do like Travelsized but my biggest
problem is that you are the only one (right?) working on it, and so it is all but sure how it will do in the future.

  That is a problem with my layout for the website... The CMS itself is
completely design agnostic :)

  Hmm... i am indeed the only one working on it, but i would not worry about
its future... i have no plans of any sort about stopping development of it ;)
Also, since it doesn't have a database backend, don't worry about the
compatibility problems that sometimes occur there :)

Ok,
 
What about security related issues, are there places where SQL injection or something
similar might potentially happen (aka sensitive spots). I take for granted that your CMS is not
very widely used, so it is also less well tested.
 
If you honestly without being biased can say that this is a good choice could you implement a prototype ?
 
Thanks!
 
Cheers,
Dennis
