What is the best blog app to use with Django-CMS? I've been using Zinnia with an older release, but I see that your demo uses the new Aldryn Newsblog app. I'm looking to do a small redesign along with re-deploying a website with 3.2 but I don't feel like going back and re-theming Zinnia to fit with my new design. Is Aldryn's app a simpler solution?

Aldryn News & Blog was created from scratch, fairly recently; if you're using the Aldryn Bootstrap code, it'll all itegrate very quickly and easily.

#16I don't care about the programming language (PHP is fine, so is anything else). What I do care about is flexibility in terms of custom page types (e.g. define "Author", "Title", "Description", "ISBN", and "Cover Image" fields for page type "Book"; loop through such child items on the parent page).
Is Django CMS something that might make me happy? Are there any new projects on the horizon that look promising?

Beyond the documentation, they have a demo if you want to find out: https://control.aldryn.com/demo/get-new/
"Sorry, we've temporarily run out of demo websites. Please try again soon! " Interesting wording.
If you'd like to give it a try and don't have patience to wait for a demo site to become available, you can also register to Aldryn [ http://www.aldryn.com/ ] (for free) and deploy your own site with a few clicks.

#19Off-topic, but since CMS-related submissions come up rather scarcely nowadays: What are some promising, modern Web Content Management Systems for medium-sized sites that I should look at, especially if I like the clean, modular design of ProcessWire very much, but not its implementation (too slow even with caching enabled)? I don't care about the programming language (PHP is fine, so is anything else). What I do care…
If you want a lot of logic / custom code, I'd use django-cms!

#20This is the first time I've seen Django CMS, but it looks interesting. How hard is it to integrate into an existing Django site?
