Cyclone3

Cyclone3 is extremely flexible open source framework designed for development of content management systems and custom applications developed for commercial purposes for almost 7 years history.

Cyclone3 Framework uses Perl as its main development language because of its high productivity. For data storage purposes it relies on MySQL. Cyclone3 XULadmin is the first open source content management system using the Mozilla Application Framework - and provides modern administration GUI powered by XUL, JavaScript, AJAX. It has the look and feel of desktop application but works as any other web page. It is truly a “Web 2.0″ technology. There is a demonstration video and some screenshots available.

Development strictly follows and uses many standards (DocBook, SOAP), but it also propagates new ones (OpenDocument, XUL, AJAX).

Cyclone3 Framework (server) is currently supported only at POSIX operating systems (GNU/Linux, *BSD, …), Cyclone3 XULadmin (client) runs on any operating system with Mozilla Firefox installed (Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, MacOS, …).

Cyclone3 coupled with some extensions and pluggable applications provides following solutions (not every feature is included in source):

* Content Management System/Framework (XHTML, WML, XUL)
* Cyclone3 provides standard CMS features out of the box ready to be used right after standard installation.
* Document Management System (DocBook, ISO OpenDocument, WebDAV)
* Web Services (SOAP, XML-RPC)
* Other Services (RSS, RDF)
