Geeklog

I've spent some time with Geeklog after spending time with other CMS out there and would like to share some thoughts. Currently CMS functionality is a commodity. Geeklog stands out in several ways. Any idea where is it heading?

Geeklog provides a layer of basic services and does it well. Its security system allows personalisation of content. This is still rare among CMSs, and especially when it is so solid. On the other hand I like that system is rather lean and fast. I also appreciate the approach when existing code is being cleaned rather than rush towards new functionality and new design. Gives me hope than I'll be mostly busy dealing with content and users on my site, not with upgrading. Geeklog seems to be a working tool rather than a mean of self-expression.

And now for something completely different. It has to do where Geeklog actually fits in the marketplace.

Wandering the CMS jungle

Geeklog Hi Geeks;

I am sufficiently impressed with GL to pause my journey through the CMS evaluation jungle, and offer some comments. As someone looking for my first CMS, and being a developer of PC software, I thought perhaps my observations and suggestions could be helpful to your admirable efforts. I have read countless comments and reviews, and sampled just about everything "out there."

* Be one of the few to provide a clear link to an admin demo. It's what most of us shoppers want to see FIRST. I know there is one on OpenSourceCMS.com, but they are often a few versions behind. As a shopper, I expect a vendor to show me what I expect to find on their main site, quickly and easily. I still can't find yours. No one wants to download and install, just to test drive.
