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.
