Hi - there quite a few Ruby on Rails CMS’s out there. Can anyone give  
a picture of which are the most supported/worked on at the moment  
(i.e. most likely to have a long life)? Just after a simple CMS…

thanks

Radiant is probably the best known. AdvaCMS looks quite promising, but  
seems a bit immature at the moment. There’s also BrowserCMS, about  
which I know little.

Both the fork and download links on this page are broken:

[http://wiki.github.com/resolve/refinery](http://wiki.github.com/resolve/refinery)

No download links I can find at the url you listed.

We’ve been working on a RoR CMS for several years for our own internal  
needs, and have recently released it as an open source project:  
[www.refinerycms.com](http://www.refinerycms.com). We use it to run about 70 websites, and I am aware  
that it is now being used by other developers to create more sites.

There appear to be some issues resulting from GitHub’s migration to  
Rackspace - looks like something to do with the wiki subdomain.

I believe the fork works from [http://github.com/resolve/Refinery](http://github.com/resolve/Refinery). And  
the download. Let me know if there are further issues.
