CMS 10 of 24: Jasmine, Diferior, MonkeyCMS

Jasmine

Jasmine CMS is based on the idea of creating an engine to give the opportunity to use it for a variaty of sites: from blogs to big sized communities. It has plugins that make a nice website portal such as forum, image gallery, PM’s etc and is easy to code to. Also it is designed keeping in mind to have it as lightweight as possible. As less accesses to the database as possible give the advantage to use it on slow servers too. You can download Jasmine CMS’s core and run it as a blog and after that add some features that you like from the plugins offered. It is a very good solution for a blog as well as for a large community site.

Diferior

For those of you unfamiliar with the project, by definition Diferior (different + superior, get it?) is a multi-purpose content management system, meaning that it provides all the necessary tools to easily publish and organize your content. What is so special about it, you ask? Well, this is not your ordinary blog CMS. In fact, it is capable of distributing files via BitTorrent, HTTP and FTP protocols, has inbuilt forums, a sophisticated user system and many many more features that each can be tweaked, customized or disabled altogether.
You can run torrent trackers, blogs, forums and other community-based sites with it.

MonkeyCMS

MonkeyCMS is a PHP/MySQL-based content management system (CMS) that offers unprecedented control over content, layout and users all through a web-browser interface. You can store thousands of pieces of content, multiple layouts, promote user interaction, manipulate images and even drive social networking through this one piece of software.

Where can MonkeyCMS be used?

MonkeyCMS is totally scalable from the smallest intranet installation to the largest imaginable content-driven portal. It has been used extensively on a number of hugely popular sites since 2004 and has been thoroughly road tested. It can be maintained easily by any number of users, and configuration and installation can be achieved in a few clicks. Your content writers need to know nothing about the technical side of the internet.

It can be operated by users of all skill levels - from the basic data inputter right up to the most accomplished HTML and PHP programmer. It offers unlimited expansion capability on top of its already extensive functionality. You can use it as a blog, a portal, a review site or anything you like. You can restrict your content to registered users or specific groups - and this can be done at the smallest granularity. You can have many admin users with different privileges allowing you to create a hierarchical content provider structure.
