Odminko: CMS on ExtJS 2.0. What to do with her now?

    I have an idea and a working CMS layout. The working title is Odminko :-) I would like her (CMS) to develop to the level of a commercial product. Alone, I cannot bring the project to such a level. It is necessary to decide what to do next with the project. Ideology: - A simple system for managing a simple site. The power of Drupal is not needed for 80% of sites. Extra functions of heavy systems interfere with work and require a lot of resources. - the site is developed by the developer. The user is engaged in filling. It follows that editing materials should be as convenient as possible: uploading photos in two clicks with the mouse, editing the site structure by dragging and dropping elements in the tree, and so on. And to change the site template, you can get into the XLST template codes.






    - editing everything (templates, modules, styles) through the admin web interface (however, this does not cancel the ability to work via ftp).
    you need to try to help the user make a convenient and easily scalable site. I won’t describe this point in a nutshell, but there are thoughts :-)

    The main distinguishing features:

    - JavaScript frontend using ExtJS 2.0
    - XSLT design templates, CSS styles
    - modules for object-oriented programmers in a simple language (at the moment this is Parser, but nothing prevents to rewrite everything to php, phyton or basic)

    Pictures (tyk-tyk to look at normal size):

    View XML produced by the engine before the XSLT transformation by the template. Editing a template. Editing a module. The development options that I see: - put the source code in open access and try to attract developers to the project (organize a support forum, at least) - do the same, but in the reverse order (so that a more or less powerful product comes out in open access) - sell yourself to someone along with the source - #rm -rf odminko * (arguments: CMS is already divorced as dirt, ExtJS is a controversial technology, cool professionals should do the development ...) What I want to know: Is it worth it to do? Is it worth it to open the source and ... and what to do next? )))

    Or look for developers in a team ...
    Or sell this business for a penny.

    Now Odminko v.0.9.5 works quite successfully on several sites. Users like it, but the level of WTF is far from zero. For the admin interface, gz-compression is used, so it weighs no more than 200Kb with all WYSIWYGs. Odminko works in three main browsers without any problems. There are difficulties with FuCKeditor.

    I can’t see the tags used on the hub, so the topic is decorated a bit clumsy ... Sorry.
