I usually use joomla for most of my websites unless I am blogging where I just use wordpress. I can buy a new site name and just set up wordpress on it as I think of what to develop on a new site. I would then use Joomla to develop my idea.

However, the recent strict of gnu protocols by the joomla development team has meant that developers who used to rely on Joomla for a living have now given up on it. Good tools are now being left to rot and as such it’s more difficult to implement any ideas I may have. That is untill MiaCMS came along.

It looks interesting and I am going to give it a go.

MiaCMS is constantly evolving so a static feature set is not easy to nail down, but here is a basic list of features offered out of the box:

• Simple Installation
• Graphical Content Editors (automatic code generation)
• RSS Content Syndication
• Powerful/Extensible 3rd Party Extension System
• Flexible Site Theming Capabilities
• Free & Open Source (GPL v2 License)
• Site Search
• REST enabled
• User Management
• Multilingual
• Stable, Secure, and Mature
