General Overview
The Weby project is a multisite web content manager, this means that you can manage several sites at once. It was initially developed by Federal University of Goiás and released as a Free Software. A Web content manager is system that allows you to manage in a simple way pages from internet (World Wide Web) or intranet (Corporate or Domestic networks). It integrates the necessary tools to manage CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) content in real time, without programming code. Our principal motivation is to make content available in a simple way making possible the easy management of information.
The project was developed with Ruby on Rails (open source tool kit, written on Ruby programming language) with focus on been simple, flexible and extensible.
- Simple: Make easier to the beginners users experience, with dynamism and interactivity.
- Flexible: In order to attract more experienced users, advanced options are necessary. Without losing the focus on the simplicity, we make avaliable mechanisms to support advanced settings.
- Extensible: An extensible system can provide new functionalities beyond those that already exist in its core. The most common way to provide these functionalities is creating extensions (plugins) and easily linking them.
Currently, Weby manages more than 600 portals UFG. We would like to hear your ideas, please contact us.
