What is the difference in FarCry Core vs. CMS?

[Jeff Chastain-3]

Especially in the latest releases, the FarCry CMS has been advertised
more as a separate plug in that is on top of the FarCry "Core".
However, anything I have found written thus far seems to talk about
them as one.  Can anybody point me to some documentation or offer a
break down as to what functionality is part of the Core vs. the CMS?

Thanks

Core is the lighter framework.

FarCry CMS Bundle is a collection of core, plugins and sample
application that comprise an out of the box CMS solution.

If you are after a CMS solution then looking at them separately is not
relevant.  If you are looking for a web application framework for CF,
then understanding what comprises the framework only might be more
relevant.

We generally view "content management" as a commodity requirement that
all web applications have.  As a consequence, the framework and its
sub-systems have a very rich set of tools for building content
management solutions.  The CMS bundle is an example of such a
solution, all the features of which can be extended or replaced as
needed.

Specifically farcrycms plugin contains News, Event, Fact (tiles), and
Links -- in addition to a variety of additional publishing rules.

As the 4.0 code base matures, more sub-systems will be extracted as
plugins, so that developers have greater control over exactly what
gets included in their distribution.  For example, its likely that
both Verity and Web Stats functionality will be decoupled from the
framework as plugins in the 4.1 release.

Hopefully that helps,

Thanks Geoff.  This was more for research / learning than anything.  I
was just under the impression from a few things I read that there was
more of a clear delineation between the two pieces, yet any time I
looked at the code, everything appeared pretty dependent.

Thanks again.
