SkyBlueCanvas - The Lightweight Blog

I have just completed the coding for SkyBlueCanvas version 1.2. The new version is an important milestone for the lightweight CMS because it is the first version to fully implement i18n (internationalization) support, the MVC (model view controller) design pattern and a lightweight ACL (access control list) to support multiple users and access permissions.

I don’t normally make posts that are not related to SkyBlueCanvas, but I really enjoy seeing anyone do anything extremely well. As a friend of mine said, “Danny MacAskill is the Yo-Yo Ma of bikes”. This is just inspiring to watch. Watch the video, you won’t regret it.

It's hard to believe it has been 12 months since SkyBlueCanvas v1.0 was released. SkyBlueCanvas has covered a lot of ground and attracted a fair amount of attention in a short time. This post is a personal letter from Scott Lewis, the lead developer for SkyBlueCanvas.

SkyBlueCanvas has received some nice media attention in recent weeks. So I thought I would write a quick post to link to the sites that have been kind enough to give us some attention. All of these sites as well as the entire open source community are funded in large part by donations and sponsor ads and affiliate programs. Please support their sites and their sponsors.

Fragmentor is a plugin to be used instead of or alongside the default Fragment Plugin in SkyBlueCanvas. Fragmentor provides template and fragment developers an alternative and much more flexible syntax for loading dynamic content views (fragments) into SkyBlueCanvas web pages. Since the plugin uses a different syntax from the default fragment plugin, it will not conflict with it. With Fragmentor, you can pass an arbitrary number of key=< value pairs of data from your article text or template file.
