Content flexible API and CMS _PROTOTYPE_ using rails and mongoDB

Congo (from content + mongo) aims to be a document based content API and CMS. It uses mongoDB as backend. It will probably feature pull templates based on Radius template system.

Interesting bits:

  • The documents or contents will be formatted as if they were created by a ad-hoc application, and not spread all over several tables (like in ez publish, expressionengine, drupal...)
  • You don't need to run ALTER TABLE or any kind of migrations whatsoever. That's an expensive operation for production databases
  • You can create similar types based on scopes, like an account, website or user.
