It seems like a really nice CMS. I love aloha as an editor and the native multi site capabilities.

But sadly there is no demo link available (crossed out) and the installation is quite a bit more complex than for the usual Rails CMS :(

It's not too bad, but usually you just do a gem install and then there's a new helper method allowing you to setup a matching project.

For some very strange reason, I get a segfault when trying to do a "bundle install" in the process described in the documentation.

I would be using it if it didn't insist on MongoDB.

I just dont trust data I care about to it

with a CMS you have barely any writes. Not sure your fear is well grounded in reality :)

Hi @rb2k_, thanks for the feedback. About the demo link, since we do not have a stable version of the engine yet, we chose to disable our demo platform. But it'll be coming soon !

You're totally right about the installation procedure. Like the other open source projects such as Spree for instance, we miss an executable which will help users to start a new engine with ease. That could be perhaps your first contribution to the project :-)

Finally, concerning your segfault error, if you have time, please open an issue in github (https://github.com/locomotivecms/engine/issues) or on our mailing-list (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/locomotiv...)

thanks again !

I also almost left without looking closely because of the disabled demo link.

I look forward to the demo, because from my subsequent cursory glance, this may be exactly what I need for a non-profit project I'm working on.

One thing I'll say about Locomotive, besides it being just an awesome take on CMS and being incredibly powerful under the hood, is that the quality of code just completely blew me away. Didier, and later other members of the team like Mario, care about the hygiene, visual formatting, test coverage, extensibility, and properness in a way I just haven't really seen in other open source projects (mine included!).

If you're looking for basically a canonical example of rails-done-right to learn from or base certain practices from, look at Locomotive CMS.

Oh, and again, it's a totally awesome (and beautiful!) CMS as well.

The "fork me on github" ribbon is covering the "Editor" and "Blog" menu items.

I also get a segfault when running "bundle install" as described in the docs.

Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/./Users/hs/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p0/li...: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-darwin11.2.0]
