I want all around a decent CMS, like joomla, or wordpress(which is more for blogging ofc).
so I was wondering if Djanga is any good? or Is it all just a hype?
Everything you need to get it up and running is already built-in (contrib.flatpages, contrib.comments, authentication, admin, I18N), and for more advanced functionalities ... FeinCMS, django-mptt, Pinax, and there are also already built CMSs available.
Personally I was blown away when I integrated django-mptt in my project, with a custom admin page from FeinCMS to edit a tree of links.
As a warning to newbies ... you have to be a programmer to use it. It's not a clicky-click experience as with Wordpress or Joomla. But it has a clear advantage ... for a developer it's extremely flexible (in contrast, customizing a Drupal website left me with scars :)).
A CMS does not require programming skill. It doesn't help to point people looking for a CMS at Django.
Also, 2days is long time. It's possible to download CMS, configure and install bunch of plugins and snazzy templates and start adding content in hour or two.
Exciting!
Object-level permissions, anonymous user support, a new test runner, and general improvements. Sounds helpful.
I've been doing a lot of programming with Django lately, and there is so much happening. I feel like the pace is growing, and things like GeoDjango and Pinax are a HUGE win.
