Hi everyone !

The first beta release of Zena (a cms based on rails) will happen in  
about a month if all goes well. The work on this cms started in  
november 2005 and most hard core refactoring is about to end which  
means it can be used live by other folks then just me.

Before announcing the public beta of this framework, we need to make a  
more sexy web site (running zena of course) and some introductory  
articles, tutorials.

Information on zena in a few phrases:

- very powerfull templating language  
([http://zenadmin.org/en/documentation/page142.html](http://zenadmin.org/en/documentation/page142.html))
- multi-lingual
- versioned
- group based read/write/publish access
- virtual classes, relations, etc

mailing list: [http://lists.zenadmin.org](http://lists.zenadmin.org)  
svn: [http://svn.zenadmin.org](http://svn.zenadmin.org)

Anyone with design skills interested in helping creating the layout  
for the web site ?

Thanks for your help.
