NodeJS CMS … A start?

Ok, so I spent some time over the weekend pulling together the rough outline of a CMS built on Node.JS, MongoDB, Express and Mongoose.

The idea is that I can build this on very similar concepts to Drupal, re. modules, themes, blocks etc. that enables me to build the skinny core of must have modules (content management, users, admin) and then see if others will join in and contribute other modules of interest (e.g. chat or presence).

I will be switching this blog over to it in the next couple of weeks, eating my own dog food so to speak, so look out for that!  Otherwise, you can find it as always on github:  http://github.com/cliftonc/calipso.

Update: You can find the site here http://calip.so.

Any feedback welcome at this stage.

    Just don’t follow Drupal’s biggest mistake. Don’t store site configuration in the database.

    I am drupal lover and into nodejs off late, I would love to see this project shape up on lines of Drupal with similar community spirit. All the best!!
